A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and an engraved, cutout construction. Strokes are largely monolinear and blocky, with chiseled corners and subtle flaring that creates a poster-like silhouette. A continuous inner carving runs through the strokes, producing a hollowed/inline effect that reads like letterpress wear or routed signage. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is punchy and tightly packed, with sturdy horizontals and squared terminals that emphasize mass.
Best suited for short, prominent text where the inline carving can be appreciated: posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, badges, and brand marks with a retro or Western flavor. It also works well on packaging and labels where a bold, engraved aesthetic helps typography stand out against simple backgrounds.
The inline cutouts and chunky slabs evoke old show posters, rodeo signage, and carnival lettering. It feels bold and theatrical, with a slightly rough-hewn, hand-crafted swagger that adds humor and retro charm. The tone is more attention-grabbing than refined, leaning into spectacle and nostalgia.
Designed to provide a strong, vintage display voice by combining chunky slab-serif structure with an engraved inline cutout. The goal appears to be maximum presence and character, delivering a classic show-card feel while maintaining clear, upright letterforms.
The carved interior line becomes a strong secondary shape at larger sizes, creating a high-impact texture across words. In dense paragraphs it can appear busy and heavy, but as a headline treatment it delivers a distinctive stamped/engraved look.
