An outline slab-serif display face with a distinctive inline detail that creates a double-line, sign-painted look. Letterforms are built from straight strokes and broad curves that are consistently chamfered, producing an octagonal rhythm around bowls and corners. Strokes are monoline as outlines, with squared terminals and sturdy slab serifs; counters are generous, keeping the hollow construction open and readable at display sizes. Proportions are slightly condensed-to-regular with crisp geometry and a steady, even spacing feel across the alphabet and figures.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the outline and inline detailing can stay crisp—headlines, posters, event titles, badges, and logo lockups. It also suits sports branding, western-themed graphics, and packaging or labels that benefit from a vintage sign-lettering aesthetic.
The overall tone reads classic Americana: part varsity lettering, part Old West poster, with a confident, parade-sign flair. Its outlined construction feels celebratory and bold without relying on heavy fill, lending a vintage, marquee-like energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional display lettering through a clean outline build, combining slab-serif sturdiness with chamfered geometry for a heritage, emblematic feel. The added inline detail suggests a goal of providing built-in dimensionality and decorative presence while remaining single-weight and easy to layer or color.
The inline contour sits consistently inside the outer outline, giving the face a layered effect that can hold up well in single-color applications. Numerals and capitals share the same chamfered corner logic, reinforcing a cohesive, badge-ready personality.
