A decorative outline serif with hollowed letterforms and a consistent double-line construction: a dark outer contour paired with an inner contour that creates an open, unfilled core. Strokes stay fairly even, with bracketed serifs and flared terminals that lean toward poster-style slab/wood-type proportions. Many joins and corners are intentionally irregular, with jagged notches and slightly wobbly contours that give the outlines a distressed, hand-cut feeling while maintaining a steady overall rhythm. The uppercase reads bold and sign-like; the lowercase is more compact and quirky, with the same outlined structure and playful modulation in curves and spurs. Numerals follow the same outlined treatment, with prominent outlines and decorative corner breaks.
Well suited to posters, event flyers, and headlines that need a decorative, retro showcard presence. It can also work for boutique signage, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where the outlined construction and distressed character can be a key part of the brand voice.
The tone feels theatrical and old-timey, like fairground lettering, haunted playbills, or vintage shop signage. Its roughened outlines add a mischievous, slightly eerie edge, while the hollow interiors keep the texture airy rather than heavy.
The design appears intended to mimic vintage display typography with an outlined, carved or stamped look, adding deliberate roughness to suggest age, print wear, or hand-crafted production. The hollow interiors keep the letterforms visually light while preserving a strong silhouette for attention-grabbing titles.
Because the design relies on open counters and multiple contours, it tends to look best at display sizes where the inner outline and the distressed details remain crisp. In longer passages the texture can become busy, so spacing and size choices matter for legibility.
