A heavy slab-serif display face with a distinctive layered construction: solid outer strokes are accented by an inset inline and a contrasting inner contour that reads like a built-in outline. Serifs are broad and bracketed, with compact, squarish terminals and rounded transitions in the bowls and curves. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the inline detail stays consistent across straight and curved strokes, giving the letterforms a carved, dimensional look. The lowercase follows the same sturdy, compact build, with single-story a and g and a generally even, upright rhythm.
Best suited to display work where the inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, badges, and logo wordmarks. It can also work well on packaging or labels that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning voice, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The combination of chunky slabs and engraved inline detailing evokes classic show-poster and heritage signage aesthetics. It feels theatrical and attention-seeking, with a slightly nostalgic, handmade-in-print mood that reads as fun and assertive rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in short text by combining a sturdy slab-serif skeleton with an engraved inline treatment that adds depth and ornament without relying on external effects. The goal appears to be a versatile, poster-ready display style that stays legible while feeling decorative and dimensional.
The inline and inner contour create strong internal contrast at larger sizes, producing a crisp, emblem-like presence. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and detailing, supporting cohesive titling and headline sets.
