A heavy slab-serif display face with compact, blocky proportions and softened corners. Letterforms are built from dense black strokes with a crisp, continuous inline cut that follows the interior of the shapes, plus a clear outer edge that reads like an outline. Curves are broad and sturdy, terminals are squared and braced by slab serifs, and counters stay relatively open for the weight. The rhythm is punchy and uneven in a deliberate way, with slightly idiosyncratic joins and a hand-cut, sign-painter regularity rather than a strictly geometric construction.
Best suited to posters, event titles, branding marks, packaging fronts, and signage where the inline detail can read clearly. It works especially well for short headlines and bold typographic lockups that benefit from a vintage, showy tone.
The inline carving and chunky slabs give it a classic showbill energy—loud, cheerful, and a bit theatrical. It evokes vintage storefront signage, carnival posters, and old-school headline typography with a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a built-in decorative treatment: a carved inline that adds dimension without requiring extra effects. The slab-serif skeleton keeps the forms stable and readable while the interior cut provides character and a period display flavor.
The inline detail becomes a primary texture at larger sizes, creating a beveled/engraved illusion and strong figure–ground contrast. In dense settings the internal stripe can visually thicken, so generous tracking and headline-sized use help preserve the carved look.
