A heavy, compact display sans with rounded geometry and broadly proportioned bowls, built from thick solid strokes that are split by a thin interior inline cut. The inline reads like a carved highlight, often running close to one edge of the stroke and following curves through counters, which creates a strong black-and-white rhythm and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Corners are softened rather than sharp, terminals are blunt, and many forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably in the lowercase), keeping the overall texture bold and friendly. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and blocky, with the inline detail adding sparkle without fully lightening the silhouettes.
Well suited to posters, event flyers, storefront signage, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where a bold silhouette and decorative interior detail are desirable. It performs especially well for short display settings, titles, and punchy callouts where the inline carving can be appreciated.
The font conveys a showy, upbeat tone—part vintage sign lettering and part playful poster type. The carved inline suggests marquee lighting or woodcut/linocut highlights, giving it a crafty, theatrical character that feels energetic and attention-seeking rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a solid, friendly structure while adding distinctive personality through a carved inline that reads as highlight and ornament. The overall intention is decorative readability: familiar sans forms made more theatrical through internal cut-outs.
The inline detail is a key feature and can visually fill in at small sizes, so the face reads best when given room to breathe. The heavy blacks and internal cut-lines create a lively texture in headlines and short phrases, while dense paragraphs may feel busy.
