In-your-face bespoke font

Loudness won against British understatement.

A rather classic design โ‰ˆ โ€œYou canโ€™t go wrongโ€

Fit โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†
Sporty, contemporary. No reference to the country/culture

Legibility โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†
โŒ€ (In the actual tournament it looks like Helvetica instead of Arial)

solid

Recycled Nike USA 2018 typeface

โ€”โ€”โ€”
