LL Champion Sans Cond specimen from Lineto

The condensed sans cut of Weichi He's rigorously systematised take on the US varsity jersey letterform tradition, built without a single curve.

About

Part of the LL Champion family released in 2024, this condensed sans variant strips out the slab serifs while retaining the strictly angular, monolinear construction derived from turn-of-the-century American wood type and sports jersey lettering. The family is duplexed, meaning each weight shares a fixed box width to prevent text reflow and reinforce the mechanical character of the forms. A Shadow version allows independent use or layering with a colour fill, extending the display possibilities of the design.

Classification

A monolinear, angular sans with no curves, derived from the US varsity jersey tradition. Though it lacks serifs in this cut, its rigid geometric construction and display-oriented origins place it firmly in the display category with a geometric sans subcategory.
