A heavy display face with slab-like serifs and a carved inline detail that runs inside each stroke, producing a crisp, engraved look. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with squared terminals, rounded corners in bowls, and a consistent outer contour that reads as an outline at larger sizes. Curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth but controlled, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) feel slightly chiseled, reinforcing a poster-style rhythm. Numerals are robust and open, with the inline cut giving extra structure and separation in dense shapes like 8 and 9.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the inline carving can be appreciated, such as logos, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also work for event graphics and sports or entertainment titling where a bold, vintage display tone is desired.
The combination of thick strokes and a precise inner cut line evokes classic sign painting and vintage poster lettering. It feels attention-grabbing and theatrical, with a friendly, show-card energy that stays legible while still looking ornamental.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a decorative, engraved interior line that adds depth and dimension to otherwise solid, blocky forms. The intent appears focused on display typography that recalls traditional signage and show posters while maintaining clear, stable letter shapes.
The inline detailing creates small interior counters and fine negative spaces that can fill in at very small sizes, so it visually rewards larger settings. The slightly irregular, hand-cut impression in some joints and curves adds character without becoming cursive or script-like.
