A heavy, rounded sans with softly blunted terminals and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut finish. A thin inline channel runs through the strokes, creating a carved, hollowed look that adds texture without breaking the letterforms. Counters are generally open and geometric, while the overall rhythm stays compact and sturdy; slight wobble and varied ink-trap-like nicks give the outlines a printed, imperfect character. Numerals and capitals read as poster-like blocks, with curves that feel inflated and corners that stay gently radiused rather than sharp.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and identity marks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It can also work for short, punchy subheads or labels, especially in playful or retro-themed layouts; for extended text, larger sizes and generous spacing will help maintain clarity.
The inline cut and slightly roughened outlines evoke vintage signage and DIY screenprint or stamp aesthetics. It feels upbeat and approachable, with a comic, craft-forward tone that prioritizes personality over neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold display voice with a distinctive inline engraving effect, combining sturdy sans proportions with a handmade, slightly distressed finish for character and memorability.
The inline detail becomes a key part of the silhouette at display sizes, while the small interior cuts and irregularities create a textured color that can appear busier in dense paragraphs. Round letters (O, Q, G) showcase the strongest sense of volume, and the overall set keeps a consistent softness across both uppercase and lowercase.
