A heavy, poster-like slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters, built from strong verticals and squared terminals. The strokes are embellished with an internal carved line and small cut-out details that create a layered, engraved look across the alphabet. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, while joins and corners tend toward crisp, blocky geometry. Spacing and rhythm feel headline-oriented, with dense black mass balanced by consistent interior voids and inline breaks.
Best suited to large-scale display use such as posters, event headlines, storefront or wayfinding signage, and logo wordmarks where the carved inline detail can be appreciated. It can also add a vintage accent to packaging and labels, especially for themes that lean nostalgic or theatrical.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage display lettering with a show-card, saloon, or circus-poster flair. The inline carving and notched cutouts add a crafted, slightly whimsical energy that reads as nostalgic and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in short bursts of text, combining robust slab-serif forms with an inline, cut-out treatment to create a distinctive engraved texture. The design prioritizes personality and recognizability over neutrality, aiming for a classic show-poster presence.
At smaller sizes the interior cutouts and inline details are likely to visually merge, while at larger sizes they become the defining texture. Numerals and capitals appear especially impactful for titling, and the style remains consistent across upper- and lowercase with an intentionally decorative, high-contrast-in-mass effect.
