A sharply stylized, geometric sans with extreme contrast between thick vertical masses and hairline strokes. Many glyphs are built from tall rectangular stems paired with semicircular bowls, creating a cut-and-inset look; several characters incorporate narrow inline gaps or split counters that read like engraved detailing. Curves are clean and circular where present, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z) are steep and wedge-like, giving a crisp, poster-driven rhythm. Proportions feel tall with a high x-height, and the overall spacing and widths vary by letter, producing a lively, display-oriented texture rather than a uniform text face.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its contrast and inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for themed applications—cocktail menus, theater or gala promotions, and vintage-inspired editorial openers—while long passages of small text may feel dense due to the ornamental stroke splits.
The font conveys a classic Art Deco mood—sleek, metropolitan, and slightly opulent—through its strong vertical emphasis and ornamental contrast. The engraved inlines and dramatic thick/thin play add a sense of stagecraft and vintage luxury, making the tone feel bold and ceremonious rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans forms with Deco-era elegance by combining heavy vertical pillars, circular bowls, and engraved-style inlines. Its construction prioritizes visual impact and period flavor, aiming for memorable silhouettes and strong rhythmic patterning in display settings.
Distinctive split strokes appear in several letters (e.g., E/F/H-like verticals and rounded letters such as O/Q), which can create striking patterns in headlines but also introduces visual busyness at smaller sizes. The numerals and punctuation echo the same carved, high-contrast construction, keeping a consistent decorative voice across the set.
