A tall, condensed display face with an engraved inline running through most strokes, creating a carved, hollowed look. Strokes feel largely monolinear with gently rounded terminals and slightly wavy, hand-rendered edges that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Curves are soft and open, counters are generous for the width, and joins lean toward simplified, poster-like construction. Overall proportions are narrow with a buoyant baseline feel and subtle inconsistency that reads as intentional and illustrative.
Works well for short headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It’s also a strong choice for packaging, café or boutique signage, and playful logotypes—especially in single words or short phrases at medium-to-large sizes.
The inline cut gives the letters a marquee or hand-lettered sign flavor, while the uneven, organic stroke behavior keeps the tone friendly and humorous. It suggests a lighthearted, crafty sensibility—more boutique shopfront than corporate branding—with a vintage-leaning charm.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-lettered, carved or engraved sign typography by combining a condensed silhouette with a consistent inline channel. The goal is decorative impact and personality, prioritizing charm and presence over strict geometric regularity.
The inline detail is most prominent in verticals and bowls, producing a layered, dimensional effect at larger sizes. Some glyphs show more pronounced waviness and taper-like quirks, reinforcing the handmade character and making it best suited for display rather than dense text settings.
