A heavy, slab-serif display face with compact proportions and crisp, squared terminals. The letterforms are built from solid black masses that are systematically broken by an internal white inline and occasional small cut-out notches, giving the strokes a layered, fabricated feel. Curves are broad and geometric, counters are tight, and joins are clean, producing a punchy silhouette with a deliberately constructed, sign-like rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best used for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where the inline carving can be appreciated at moderate-to-large sizes. It also works well for short logo wordmarks and event branding that benefits from a bold, vintage display voice.
The carved inline and small cut details evoke vintage signage and show-poster lettering, blending a playful theatrical tone with a slightly industrial, machined character. Its strong silhouettes read as confident and attention-seeking, suited to energetic, nostalgic branding rather than quiet text settings.
The design appears intended to translate classic show-card and sign-painter forms into a consistent, high-impact display alphabet, using an internal inline and cutouts to add depth and ornament without relying on outlines or gradients.
The inline treatment varies with stroke direction, creating a subtle pseudo-shadow effect that adds depth at larger sizes. Diacritics are not shown; numerals appear sturdy and decorative, matching the same cut-and-inset logic as the letters.
