A heavy geometric display face built from solid black forms that are consistently pierced by narrow vertical inline cuts, creating a striped, hollowed rhythm through each character. Curves are near-circular and terminals are crisp, with minimal stroke modulation and a strong reliance on simple geometry. The inline breaks function like controlled notches—often centered—so counters and bowls feel engineered and mechanical, while diagonals (V, W, X, Z) maintain the same bold mass with cut lines aligned to the overall vertical logic. Spacing and proportions read as balanced and upright, with a compact, poster-friendly texture in words.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging fronts, and signage where the inline detailing can remain visible. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous size and tracking, but it is not optimized for long-running body text.
The overall tone is vintage and architectural, evoking Art Deco titling, industrial labeling, and classic cinema or theater signage. The repeated inline carving adds a sense of machinery, speed, and precision, giving text a dramatic, high-impact presence without feeling chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge bold geometric letterforms with a decorative inline treatment that suggests engraved or illuminated lettering. Its consistent vertical cut motif creates instant recognizability and a period-leaning, constructed aesthetic tailored to impactful titling.
Because the inline cuts interrupt the darkest areas, the face produces a distinctive shimmer at larger sizes and in all-caps settings. At smaller sizes, the narrow internal gaps can visually fill in, so the design reads strongest when given room to breathe and sufficient contrast in reproduction.
