A heavy, slab-serif display face with squared proportions, strong vertical stress, and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are built from a solid outer silhouette with a continuous inner inline cut that creates a layered, sign-painted effect; an additional inner contour reinforces the hollowed look. Strokes are straight and blocky with tight counters and compact joins, producing a dense texture, while the numerals match the same bold, framed construction for consistent impact across the set.
Best suited for large-scale display work where the inline detail can be appreciated: posters, headlines, event flyers, storefront-style signage, and emblematic logotypes or badges. It can also work for short subheads or labels when ample size and spacing are available to keep the interior detailing clear.
The style evokes old-time signage and poster lettering, mixing a frontier-era slab-serif feel with a showbill/circus boldness. The carved inline detail adds a crafted, engraved impression that reads as confident, nostalgic, and slightly rugged.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif backbone while using an inline cut to add ornament and a hand-crafted, engraved character. The goal appears to be attention-grabbing display typography that feels traditional, theatrical, and sign-oriented rather than neutral text setting.
The inline and inner contouring introduce strong internal rhythm that stays visible at large sizes and gives the face a dimensional, badge-like presence. The overall geometry is sturdy and rectilinear, with decorative interior notches and tight apertures that emphasize the display intent.
