A heavy slab-serif display face with softly rounded corners and broad, blocky proportions. Each stroke is split by a consistent internal inline that reads like a carved highlight, creating a layered, dimensional feel without relying on contrast. Terminals are squared and sturdy, counters are compact, and curves (C, G, O, S) stay wide and smooth to maintain an even rhythm. The lowercase is similarly robust, with single-storey forms and dense interiors that keep the texture dark and punchy; numerals are chunky and highly prominent with the same internal striping.
Best for large-scale display use such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and signage where the inline effect can be appreciated. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that aim for a vintage or marquee-like presence, especially when used with generous spacing and solid contrast against the background.
The inline detailing and chunky slabs evoke vintage sign lettering, old posters, and bold storefront typography. It feels energetic and attention-grabbing, with a showy, slightly theatrical tone that leans toward retro and Americana styling rather than neutral modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a decorative inline that adds depth and a hand-lettered sign aesthetic. Its sturdy slabs and rounded geometry prioritize recognizability and personality in short bursts of text.
The internal inline remains visually consistent across straights and curves, acting like a built-in highlight that helps separate forms at larger sizes. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and interior detailing may visually fill in, making it better suited to display settings than extended text.
