A decorative serif display with strong vertical emphasis and dramatic contrast between thick bowls and hairline connections. Many glyphs feature carved, parallel inline cutouts that read like pinstripes running through stems and diagonals, creating a hollowed, engraved look within otherwise heavy forms. Proportions skew wide in several capitals, with sharp, tapered terminals and occasional flare at stroke ends; curves are smooth and rounded while joins stay crisp. Overall spacing and rhythm feel intentionally bold and graphic, optimized for large sizes where the interior striping remains legible.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where the striped inlines and high-contrast silhouettes can be appreciated at larger scales. It also works well for event promotions, entertainment branding, and editorial feature titles that benefit from a bold, vintage display voice.
The inline striping and flared, high-contrast construction give the type a showy, vintage tone reminiscent of marquee lettering and classic poster titling. It reads confident and stylish, with a slightly mischievous, theatrical energy that draws attention quickly.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact through dramatic contrast and ornamental inline carving, pairing a classic serif foundation with graphic striping to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing display texture.
The inline treatment varies by letter—some characters use multiple thin channels while others combine solid masses with narrow cutouts—creating a lively, ornamental texture across words. Numerals and rounded letters (like O and 8) emphasize layered interior shapes that can become visually dense at smaller sizes, reinforcing its role as a display face rather than a text workhorse.
