A geometric display face built from solid, black forms interrupted by crisp inline cutouts that read as narrow white channels. Many letters rely on simple circles, half-circles, and rectangular stems, with frequent vertical split motifs in rounds (C, G, O, Q) and strong, flat terminals. The contrast is created less by stroke modulation and more by the interplay between heavy fills and thin internal lines; diagonals (A, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z) are sharp and angular, while bowls remain smooth and near-circular. Proportions are generally broad with a tall lowercase presence, and spacing in text appears open enough for the inline details to remain visible at display sizes.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as posters, event titles, branding wordmarks, and packaging where the inline cutouts can be appreciated. It works well for short phrases and headings that benefit from a decorative, cinematic presence, and is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to the intricate internal detailing.
The overall tone is distinctly Art Deco: glamorous, architectural, and stage-forward. The inline carving adds a metallic, marquee-like shimmer, giving the letters a poster-ready drama that feels vintage yet graphic and modern in execution.
The font appears designed to evoke classic Deco signage and luxury branding through bold silhouettes and precise inline carving. Its construction prioritizes striking shapes, strong symmetry, and repeatable geometric motifs to create a cohesive, attention-grabbing display voice.
The design leans on repeated structural devices—vertical incisions, mirrored halves, and centered spines—creating a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Some characters take a more illustrative approach (notably in diagonals and the curving S), reinforcing its display intent rather than neutral text utility.
