A condensed, heavy display face with an inline cut running through the stems and bowls, creating a carved, hollowed feel inside otherwise solid letterforms. The silhouette is built from blocky, slightly flared shapes with softened corners and irregular, distressed edges that read like worn ink or rough printing. Counters are compact and the spacing is tight, giving lines a dense, impactful rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same rugged texture and inline detailing, keeping the set visually consistent for headline use.
Best suited to posters, event headers, title treatments, and signage where a bold, vintage voice is needed. It can also work well on packaging and labels that benefit from an engraved or stamped look. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts (subheads, callouts) where its texture and inline detail remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a nostalgic, woodtype-like character that suggests old posters and stamped signage. The distressed texture and inline carving add a crafty, handmade energy that feels lively rather than polished, leaning toward playful and slightly rugged.
The design appears intended to evoke classic display typography—especially poster and woodtype traditions—while adding an inline engraving effect and worn texture for extra visual interest. It prioritizes impact and character over neutrality, aiming to deliver a distinctive, print-like presence in large-format settings.
The inline detail stays centered enough to read as a deliberate engraving rather than a purely grunge effect, while the rough edges introduce variation that will become more pronounced at larger sizes. Because of the dense color and condensed proportions, the face reads strongest when given room to breathe and used where texture is an asset rather than a distraction.
