A chunky, rounded display face with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and softened corners. Each glyph is built from solid forms cut by a consistent inner inline, creating a hollowed, double-stroke effect that reads like an engraved stripe running through the letter. Proportions lean wide and friendly, with open counters and simple geometric construction; the lowercase is compact and straightforward, while capitals feel more poster-like. Curves are smooth and weighty, and joins are slightly irregular in a way that suggests hand-drawn lettering refined into a consistent font.
Best suited for display applications where its carved inline can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding lockups, packaging, and signage. It also works well for short emphatic phrases, badges, and number-forward layouts like menus or pricing, where a friendly retro tone is desired.
The inline carving gives the face a vintage sign-painting and fairground flavor—confident, upbeat, and attention-seeking without feeling aggressive. It carries a nostalgic, mid-century display energy that feels fun and approachable, with a hint of craft and DIY character.
Designed to deliver a strong, decorative presence using an inline cut that adds depth and a crafted, sign-inspired finish to otherwise solid letterforms. The goal appears to be high impact and memorability for titles and branding rather than neutral, extended reading.
The inline remains visible even in tighter shapes (like S, 8, and 9), helping maintain the signature look across letters and numerals. The figures are similarly chunky and rounded, making them suitable for bold numeric callouts and prices. The overall color is heavy, so it performs best when given space and used at display sizes.
