An outline serif with an inline double-contour construction that gives each glyph a hollow, sign-painted presence. The letterforms are built from fairly even strokes with softly rounded corners and noticeable bracketed, slab-like serifs that keep the silhouettes sturdy despite the open interiors. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and generous spacing, producing clear shapes in both caps and lowercase; the lowercase shows friendly, slightly bulbous terminals (notably in a, r, and s) and a single-storey g. Numerals follow the same outlined treatment with broad, readable forms and consistent contour spacing.
Well-suited to display roles such as posters, event flyers, and large headlines where the outline detail can be appreciated. It also fits branding applications like logos, packaging, menus, and signage that want a retro, shopfront or show-card feel.
The double-line outline and chunky, bracketed serifs evoke vintage storefront lettering and old poster typography. Overall it feels cheerful and slightly theatrical, with a handcrafted warmth that reads as retro and decorative rather than purely editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display personality through a hollow, inline outline while retaining the familiarity and stability of slab-serif structures. Its consistent contours and rounded bracketing suggest a focus on friendly legibility and decorative impact in larger-format typography.
The hollow construction creates a strong perimeter that can read like engraved or embossed lettering, especially at larger sizes. Because the design relies on interior space, it benefits from adequate size and contrast against the background to keep the outlines crisp.
