A slanted display slab serif with heavy, softly rounded strokes and prominent bracketless serifs. Each glyph is built from a solid outer silhouette with a narrow, consistent inline cut that tracks the stroke direction, creating a carved, dimensional look. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tightened, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture. Letterforms show subtly uneven widths and assertive terminals, while the numerals and caps keep a unified rhythm through consistent stroke mass and the recurring interior channel.
Best used for headlines and short phrases where the inline detail can be appreciated—posters, product packaging, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks. It can work in subheads, but extended body text will likely feel dense due to the heavy strokes and internal carving.
The inline carving and forward slant give the face a punchy, kinetic tone that reads as vintage and sign-like. It feels spirited and extroverted—well suited to designs that want motion, impact, and a touch of throwback flair rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with built-in ornamentation, using an inline cut to add depth and a lively, sign-painting-inspired character while keeping the overall silhouettes strong and legible at larger sizes.
The inline is thin enough to add detail without breaking the silhouettes, but it increases visual noise at smaller sizes. The combination of slab serifs and rounded joins keeps the bold shapes friendly rather than harsh, and the oblique angle reinforces a fast, sporty cadence.
