A compact, heavy display face built from tall, condensed letterforms with blunt terminals and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel but visually energized by a thin inline cut that runs through the main stems and bowls, creating a carved, sign‑painted effect. Counters are tight and the overall geometry leans rectangular, with squared shoulders and simplified curves; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain crisp and forceful. Lowercase forms are sturdy and utilitarian, with a single‑storey a and g and compact bowls, while figures are robust and slightly idiosyncratic, echoing the same inline detailing.
Best used at large sizes for posters, headlines, event promotion, and branding where compact width and high visual density are beneficial. The carved inline makes it especially effective for signage-style treatments, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks that need a vintage, attention-forward tone.
The inline carving and compressed heft give the face a vintage showcard/woodtype flavor with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as theatrical and energetic—suited to environments that want a sense of spectacle, tradition, and punchy impact rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to fuse a condensed, heavyweight display skeleton with an inline “carved” accent, evoking classic woodtype and showcard lettering while maintaining a strong, modern silhouette for bold titling.
The inline detail is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and numerals, adding texture without relying on outlines. Spacing appears geared toward headline sizes, where the narrow set and tight counters create a dense, poster-like color.
