This typeface combines slab-serif, typewriter-like proportions with a consistent inline cut that runs through the main strokes, creating a hollowed, engraved effect. Strokes are relatively light with clear, squared serifs and sturdy verticals; round letters keep generous open counters while retaining a slightly pinched, hand-finished rhythm. The inline channel is narrow and centered, producing a double-stroke look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing feels even and grid-friendly, with a regular beat that supports set text and tabular-looking layouts.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and branding where the inline cut can read as an engraved or printed effect. It also works well for menus, certificates, and editorial pull quotes, and can handle short-to-medium text blocks when you want a distinctive, retro-mechanical flavor without losing structure.
The inline carving gives the face a vintage, mechanical personality—part letterpress poster, part drafting-room stencil—while the slab structure keeps it grounded and readable. It feels mildly quirky and crafted rather than sleek, adding character without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to fuse a dependable slab-serif skeleton with an inline treatment that adds dimensionality and print-era charm. The goal seems to be a characterful, display-leaning face that still behaves predictably in grid-based composition and number-heavy settings.
Caps have a display-ready presence thanks to the inline detailing and prominent slab terminals, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, typewriter-adjacent construction that keeps paragraphs from becoming overly decorative. Numerals follow the same inline logic and appear designed to align cleanly in sequences, reinforcing a utilitarian, list-friendly tone.
