A heavy, slab‑serif display face with a consistent inline channel carved through the main strokes, creating a dimensional, engraved look. The forms are compact and upright with sturdy, bracketed serifs and softly rounded outer corners that keep the mass from feeling overly rigid. Stroke weight stays broadly even, while the interior inline follows the contours to emphasize the verticals and bowls. Spacing and proportions read like classic poster lettering, with strong, blocky silhouettes and clear counters that hold up in dense settings.
Best suited to display sizes where the inline detailing can be appreciated: posters, event branding, labels, menus, and signage. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that want a vintage or Western flavor, and for short editorial headlines where a bold, ornamental texture is desired.
The inline treatment and slab structure evoke an old show‑poster and storefront aesthetic—part Western, part circus/woodtype—conveying a nostalgic, hands-on craftsmanship. It feels bold and attention-seeking without becoming chaotic, suggesting tradition, spectacle, and Americana-inflected display typography.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a carved inline effect, echoing historical woodtype and engraved sign lettering. The goal appears to be a confident, nostalgic voice that remains legible while adding built-in ornament through the inner channel.
The inline cut varies in path to track each letter’s geometry, giving the set a lively, carved quality rather than a purely mechanical stripe. Numerals and capitals carry the most visual authority, while the lowercase retains the same decorative logic for consistent texture in mixed-case lines.
