A right-leaning, slab-serif display face with sturdy proportions and a pronounced engraved effect. Each stroke is punctuated by a consistent inline channel that reads like a cut or highlight running through the black forms, producing a two-tone rhythm without changing the overall weight. Serifs are wedge-like and slightly bracketed, with tapered terminals and crisp joins that keep the heavy shapes from feeling blunt. Counters are compact but open enough for large-size use, and curves (notably in C, O, Q, S, and the numerals) stay smooth while maintaining the chiseled, carved interior detail.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display settings where the inline carving can be appreciated—posters, event titling, sports or club branding, packaging labels, and bold signage. It can work for pull quotes or opening lines, but the interior detail suggests avoiding very small sizes or dense text blocks where the inline channel may visually crowd.
The inline carving gives a punchy, poster-era energy that feels both nostalgic and assertive. It evokes engraved signage and athletic/club lettering, with a confident forward motion from the italic stance. Overall, it communicates showmanship and impact rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic slab with an engraved inline treatment, combining strong, poster-ready letterforms with a decorative interior cut that adds depth and distinction.
The inline detail remains visible across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture in words and a distinctive shimmer in longer lines. The heavy diagonals and slabby serifs contribute to strong silhouette recognition, while the internal channel adds perceived depth and motion.
