Outlined vintage varsity slab
School Mission
School Mission is an outlined varsity slab in white on a photograph of a campus: heavy square serifs, notched corners and flat tops drawn as a thick contour with an inner line, with small tracked notes at the edges and a bottom caption in spaced caps, so the plate reads as a college print.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of School Mission.
The two words are stacked and the drawing is a college slab rendered as an outline: the contour is thick, the inner line sits close to it, and the notches at the corners are visible in both lines, which is what makes the letters read as a two-colour screen print. Because the fill is empty, the photograph shows through the letters, and the specimen relies on that: the building behind gives the word somewhere to sit without a panel. Spacing is tight and the two lines are set to the same width, so the block fills the frame. The small notes at the left and right edges run vertically in tracked caps, which is the language of a period sports poster rather than a type specimen.

Banner for a school anniversary
An outlined varsity slab reads as a printed college banner, and the hollow letters let a photograph of the building remain visible behind the type.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 1,200 by 600 mm: the name at 180 mm cap height, a 12 mm contour, and the date in a 40 mm slab. Keep 40 mm margins, print one ink on a mesh banner, and keep the inner line above 4 mm so it survives the print.
Pre-production check
Check the banner at eight metres, where the inner line can close; thicken it. Confirm the 40 mm date reads at five metres and that the type stays legible against a busy photograph behind the mesh.
Shirt graphic for a school-leavers party
An outlined slab prints as one screen on a dark shirt, and the contour keeps the lettering readable where a filled varsity face would sit heavy.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: the phrase at 55 mm cap height, the year at 25 mm, and one ink plus an underlay. Keep the contour at 3 mm so the screen holds it and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 3 mm contour fills on a dark garment; add the underlay. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the year stays legible after five cycles.
Cover for a school yearbook
An outlined slab lets a yearbook cover carry the school name over a photograph without a panel, which is what makes a cover feel like a document of the year.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 90 mm cap height across 230 mm, the year at 130 mm, and the class line in a 10 pt slab. Print one ink on a laminated board and keep the photograph dark behind the type.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 90 mm, where a thin inner line can vanish on a busy background; thicken it or darken the image. Confirm the 10 pt class line reads on the shelf and that the year prints cleanly on the spine.

University
Mechacore is a wide geometric sans in black on yellow: square extended letters, a flat-topped C, a stencil variant, five weights from light to bold, and an ultra-expanded width, laid out as a technical sheet with rules, labels and a barcode, so the plate reads as a system rather than a single font.

College slab with outline cut
Varsity College
Varsity College is a vintage college slab in cream with an outline cut on a near-black ground: heavy caps with block serifs, a high waist and narrow counters, set on two lines with tracked lines above and beneath naming the style, the outline version and the studio.
