An outline slab serif with an added inner inline that creates a double-contour, hollow appearance. Strokes are monoline in feel, with rounded corners and softly bracketed slab terminals that read as slightly bulbous at the ends. Proportions are open and steady, with generous counters and a consistent, even rhythm across uppercase and lowercase; the lowercase shows simple, readable forms and a single-storey ‘g’. Numerals and capitals keep the same sturdy slab structure, while the outline treatment keeps the overall color light and airy on the page.
Best suited to display applications where the outline and inline can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, storefront-style signage, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, but the light outline construction suggests avoiding long text at small sizes.
The outlined, double-line construction gives a sign-painter and novelty-display tone, evoking vintage poster lettering, fairground graphics, and old-timey storefront signage. Despite the decorative construction, the rounded detailing keeps it approachable rather than sharp or severe.
The design appears intended to provide a decorative slab-serif voice with a built-in outline/inline effect, enabling an instantly stylized, vintage display look without additional strokes or layering. Its consistent spacing and simplified forms prioritize clear word shapes while maintaining a novelty, signage-driven character.
The inner inline is set in from the outer contour evenly, producing a clear “hollow” channel that stays legible at display sizes. The slab serifs and rounded joins contribute to a slightly bouncy, handcrafted feel, especially noticeable in letters with curved shoulders and terminals.
