Heavy varsity slab with extrusion
Super Varsity is a heavy varsity slab in maroon with a solid extrusion behind it: wide caps with block serifs, a flat top and bottom, narrow counters, and a shadow that steps down and to the right, set on an arched line with a small badge below.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The word is set on an arch and the drawing is a college slab: the serifs are blocks, the strokes are heavy, and the counters are narrow, which keeps the face readable at a stadium distance. The extrusion is drawn at a fixed angle and a fixed depth, so the block reads as a three-dimensional object rather than a drop shadow, and the specimen keeps the depth consistent across every letter. The arch is a setting decision, and the plate shows only that arrangement, which is honest for a display face used on banners and jerseys. The palette is two colours on a light ground, and the small badge beneath carries the secondary line in a lighter weight of the same construction.

Super Varsity + Honey and Lemon
Adds a warm human signature touch for 1-to-3-word callouts without competing against structured serif capitals.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Super Varsity’s stroke geometry.
A varsity slab with an extrusion reads as a physical sign, and the heavy letters hold on vinyl at a distance where a flat display would look thin.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 1,400 by 500 mm: the team at 180 mm cap height, an 18 mm extrusion, and the fixture in a 34 mm slab. Keep 30 mm margins and print two colours on a light ground.
Pre-production check
Check the banner at eight metres, where the extrusion can merge with the letters; keep the gap above 10 mm. Confirm the 34 mm fixture reads at four metres and that the border clears the eyelets.
A varsity block prints as two screens and reads as kit, which suits a sports-themed celebration better than a decorated party face.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: the name at 55 mm cap height, a 4 mm extrusion, and two inks on a light shirt. Keep the thinnest serif at 4 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 4 mm serif fills; thicken it. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the extrusion stays aligned after five cycles.
A college slab gives a club a badge-like mark, and the arched setting is the convention that makes it read as a team rather than a company.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark on an arch at 40 mm on a pennant, 22 mm on a sticker and 120 mm on a hoarding. Keep one colour plus the extrusion and reserve clear space equal to the cap height.
Pre-production check
Check the 22 mm sticker, where narrow counters can fill; use a lighter weight. Confirm the hoarding reads at twenty metres and that the arch stays symmetrical across the mark.
Technical & licence verification
