A compact, heavy display face built from blocky, slab-like strokes with rounded corners and slightly irregular edges. A thin inline cut runs through the interior of the black forms, creating a hollowed, engraved look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters are tight and squared-off, terminals are flat, and the overall drawing favors verticality with mildly uneven widths that keep the texture lively. Numerals and letters share the same sturdy proportions, with a clear, poster-ready silhouette and a tactile, inked finish.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, event graphics, and bold branding accents. It performs especially well when the inline detail can be appreciated—display sizes, titles, and logotype-style applications.
The inline carving and rugged black mass give the font a vintage show-poster energy—part western sign paint, part carnival broadside. Its slightly distressed, hand-touched feel reads bold and spirited rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with an engraved inline accent, combining solid, condensed letterforms with a vintage, hand-inked texture. The goal appears to be strong legibility at display scale while adding ornamental character without relying on swashes or complex shapes.
The inline detail is fine enough to add character at larger sizes, but it visually fills in as sizes shrink, making the face feel heavier and more textured. Stroke ends and interior corners vary subtly, contributing to a hand-made rhythm and a strong, stamped impression.
