A heavy slab-serif display face with broad proportions and pronounced, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are built from solid shapes that are visually “carved” with an internal inline and a thin outer keyline, creating a layered, sign-painted look. Strokes are robust and compact with crisp corners and slightly rounded inner transitions, keeping counters open despite the mass. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, with confident caps and a similarly weighty lowercase designed to hold up at headline sizes.
Best suited to large-scale display work where the inline and outline can read clearly: posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, product packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when a vintage, showbill flavor is desired.
The styling evokes old poster lettering and show signage—bold, attention-seeking, and a bit theatrical. The inline detail adds a crafted, decorative tone that feels nostalgic and fun rather than minimalist or corporate.
The design appears intended as a decorative, high-impact slab serif for attention-grabbing typography, combining sturdy Western-inspired construction with inline engraving for added depth and ornamentation.
The inline and outline details are consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive engraved effect. The numerals are similarly blocky and display-oriented, matching the assertive slab structure of the alphabet.
