A heavy, compact display face with soft, rounded contours and an intentionally uneven, hand-inked edge. Each glyph is built from thick strokes that are carved with a narrow inner inline, creating a hollowed, cut-through look that stays present across the alphabet and numerals. Counters are generally open and rounded, proportions feel slightly condensed in places, and the outlines wobble subtly, giving the letterforms a stamped or screen-printed texture rather than a geometric precision.
Best suited for posters, headlines, badges, and short brand statements where the carved inline effect can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a bold, tactile, print-like presence, especially in single-color applications where the internal linework can provide built-in detail.
The overall tone is lively and a bit rough-around-the-edges, pairing bold impact with a friendly, crafty warmth. The inline detail adds a vintage sign-painting flavor while the distressed contours keep it informal and energetic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum display impact while adding built-in ornament through an internal carved line, mimicking techniques like cutting, stamping, or inked printing. The irregular edges and rounded construction aim to feel approachable and analog rather than polished and corporate.
The inline channel varies slightly in thickness and placement, reinforcing the handmade rhythm. In text, the strong silhouette carries well, but the internal carving and rough edges create a busy texture that reads best with comfortable tracking and at larger sizes.
