A heavy display slab serif with broad proportions, softly bracketed serifs, and an engraved inline detail that cuts a consistent highlight through the main strokes. Curves are generously rounded and the joins feel cushioned rather than sharp, giving the letters a chunky, poster-like silhouette. The inline carving varies in placement to follow the stroke flow, creating a dimensional, sign-painted effect across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing appears open and the overall rhythm is bold and steady, prioritizing impact over fine text detail.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved inline can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, labels, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short, high-impact subheads or pull quotes, but is less appropriate for long-form reading where the decorative inline may reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
The inline highlight and thick, bracketed slabs evoke old showbills, fairground signage, and Western-influenced lettering. It reads as upbeat and attention-seeking, with a nostalgic theatrical flavor and a touch of handmade charm.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif backbone while adding an engraved inline to suggest depth and ornament. The overall construction aims for a bold, retro display voice that reads quickly from a distance and feels at home in sign and poster contexts.
Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic and sturdy, while lowercase maintains the same carved-in highlight without becoming delicate. Numerals match the same weight and inline treatment for cohesive headline setting, and the cut-in line helps prevent large black areas from feeling flat.
