A decorative serif with chunky, flared terminals and bracketed serifs, built on sturdy verticals and rounded bowls. The defining feature is a consistent inline cut that runs through the strokes, creating a carved, poster-like look without breaking the overall silhouette. Counters are generally open and rounded, curves are slightly squared at joins, and the overall rhythm feels compact and weighty with pronounced top and bottom finishing. Numerals and capitals carry the same engraved treatment, producing a cohesive display texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where the inline detail can be appreciated. It works well for posters, event branding, labels and packaging, storefront-style signage, and cover typography that wants a vintage or showbill flavor.
The inline carving and bold, old-style serif shapes evoke a nostalgic, show-signage attitude—part frontier, part fairground. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, with a handcrafted, stamped quality that feels at home in retro and theatrical settings.
Likely designed to deliver a classic display serif presence with an engraved inline effect, balancing sturdy letterforms with ornamental interior detailing for high-impact, retro-forward typography.
The inline detail adds visual sparkle but also increases texture density, especially in smaller sizes or longer passages. Spacing appears tuned for display, and the glyphs hold strong silhouettes that remain recognizable even with the interior linework.
