A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions, squared terminals, and bracketed serifs that give the shapes a sturdy, sign-painting silhouette. The defining feature is a consistent interior cut that reads like an engraved inline, creating a double-stroked effect across stems, bowls, and numerals. Curves are full and rounded, counters are generous, and joins stay crisp, producing a steady, rhythmic texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals share the same carved detailing and robust stance, with simple, legible forms suited to large sizes.
Best used for posters, headlines, and short display lines where the carved interior can be appreciated. It suits signage, branding marks, packaging, and event graphics that want a vintage or Western-inflected voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample leading to keep the inline detail from overwhelming the texture.
The inline carving and stout slabs evoke classic show bills, frontier signage, and early 20th‑century advertising. It feels theatrical and attention-seeking, with a nostalgic craft tone that reads as friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to combine the solidity of a slab serif with an engraved inline treatment, delivering strong presence while adding ornamental depth. Its proportions and consistent internal carving suggest a focus on decorative impact and retro sign vernacular rather than neutral text setting.
The inline detail is prominent enough to become a pattern in text, so spacing and word shapes feel bold and decorative. In dense settings, the interior cut adds visual busyness, while at larger sizes it reads as intentional engraving and gives the letterforms depth.
