A right-leaning, heavy display serif with slabby terminals and a carved inline running through the main strokes. Letterforms have brisk, slightly irregular contours and frequent notches/ink-trap–like corners that add snap at joins and curves. The inline sits consistently inside the black mass, creating a beveled, engraved feel without fully separating into a true outline. Curves are compact and sturdy, counters are modest, and spacing reads deliberately tight for impact rather than long-text comfort.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event titles, and branding marks where the inline detail can read clearly. It can also work well on packaging and signage that benefit from a retro, engraved display look, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The style evokes vintage show lettering and mid-century advertising, with a confident, energetic tone. The engraved inline and punchy slabs add a theatrical, poster-ready character that feels both nostalgic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver bold display presence while adding depth through an internal carved line, mimicking engraved or inlaid lettering. Its slanted stance and notched detailing suggest an aim for motion and showmanship rather than neutrality.
Round letters like O/Q show a strong internal rhythm from the inline, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the dynamic slant. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, suited to large-size use where the internal carving stays crisp.
