A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and strongly bracketed slabs. Strokes are robust with noticeable internal shaping: many joins and terminals show carved, notch-like cut-ins that read like ink-traps or decorative incisions, adding texture to the silhouettes. Corners are generally softened, and curves are full and rounded, giving counters a slightly compressed, cushioned feel. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy with single-storey a and g and prominent ball/teardrop terminals on letters such as a, c, e, f, j, and y; the overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular by design, favoring character over strict uniformity.
Best suited to display settings where its notched slabs and rounded mass can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or mastheads, especially when generous tracking and line spacing preserve the interior detailing.
The tone is bold and showy with a distinct vintage flavor, evoking poster lettering associated with Western, circus, and old-time advertising. The carved details and rounded heft make it feel friendly and playful rather than severe, while still projecting confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic slab-serif poster letterforms with added carved interior details and softened geometry, prioritizing strong presence and a distinctive, themed voice for branding and headline typography.
The numerals are chunky and highly graphic, matching the alphabet’s heavy color and rounded slabs. The decorative cut-ins are consistent across caps and lowercase, creating a recognizable texture at larger sizes and a busier pattern if set too small or too tight.
