A heavy, compact display face built from thick, geometric forms with rounded curves and firm, squared terminals. Each glyph is cut by a narrow, irregular inline channel that reads like a carved groove, producing high-contrast light breaks inside otherwise solid strokes. The carving varies subtly across letters, creating a distressed, hand-cut texture while keeping the overall silhouettes bold and legible. Counters are generally generous for the weight, and the set mixes blocky construction with softened curves, especially in C, G, O, and S.
Best suited to large-scale display applications such as posters, event titles, packaging fronts, and bold brand marks where the carved inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short callouts on labels and signage, especially when a rugged, handcrafted texture is desired.
The carved inline effect gives the type a tough, crafted personality that feels part stencil, part woodcut. It projects a theatrical, poster-ready energy—bold and attention-seeking—while the imperfect inner cuts add grit and a handmade, analog feel.
The design appears intended to combine a strong, simple silhouette with a distinctive interior carving that adds identity without relying on outlines. The irregular inline breaks suggest a deliberate “cut” or “engraved” motif aimed at vintage-inspired, high-impact typography.
The inline cuts sometimes cluster into multiple slivers within wide strokes, which increases texture and movement at large sizes but can visually darken in dense text. Numerals follow the same chunky construction and carved interior, matching the alphabet well for badges and headline numerics.
