A heavy slab-serif display face with compact proportions, firm verticals, and broad, blocky bowls. Strokes are cut with a consistent inline channel that creates a carved, two-tone illusion, reinforced by notched corners and wedge-like terminals that feel chiseled rather than smoothly bracketed. Curves are robust and slightly squarish, counters are generous for the weight, and overall spacing is open enough to keep the dense letterforms legible at headline sizes. Figures are similarly bold and rounded, matching the squared, poster-style rhythm of the alphabet.
Best suited to posters, headlines, event promotions, packaging, and signage where the inline carving can read clearly. It also works for bold logo marks or badges that want a vintage or carnival/Western flavor, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is theatrical and nostalgic, evoking showbills, fairground signage, and old woodtype posters. The inline detailing adds a crafted, hand-finished character that reads as bold, spirited, and a bit mischievous rather than corporate or minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a decorative inline treatment, combining sturdy slab-serif construction with a carved, woodcut-like texture. Its forms prioritize personality and display presence over quiet text neutrality.
The inline cut appears most visible in the wider strokes and around bowls, giving a dimensional, engraved effect without relying on outlines. The design’s notches and angular joins add texture and movement, which helps large words feel lively but can make long passages feel busy.
