A heavy slab-serif design with rounded, bracketed joins and broad, compact counters. Each letterform is built from solid strokes that are sliced by a consistent inline channel, creating a double-stroke look with a bright interior stripe. Serifs are blocky and horizontal, terminals feel squared-off, and curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and roomy, keeping the texture open despite the dense weight. The lowercase carries the same slab structure with sturdy stems and a single-storey a and g, giving the set a unified, sign-paint-like rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust with the inline cut tracking cleanly through curves and corners.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event titles, brand marks, labels, and packaging where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also fits sports-style headers, badges, and signage that benefit from a bold, vintage voice.
The inline carving and chunky slabs evoke vintage poster lettering, classic athletic titling, and carnival/old-west display typography. It feels confident and extroverted, with a crafted, badge-like presence that reads as festive and nostalgic rather than sleek or technical.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through heavy slab structure while adding built-in decoration via an inline cut, creating a ready-made, embellished look without additional styling. The consistent internal stripe suggests an intention toward classic signage and emblematic typography that stands out in short phrases and titles.
The inline channel is a defining motif and remains fairly even across verticals, horizontals, and curves, producing strong internal contrast between black mass and white stripe. Overall spacing and silhouettes favor impact at headline sizes, while the dense interior detailing suggests it will look best when given room to breathe and adequate size.
