A stylized, geometric sans with dramatic contrast driven by deliberate cut-ins and inline-like voids. Many strokes behave like solid blocks interrupted by narrow vertical slits or internal notches, creating a crisp, segmented rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q), while diagonals and peaks (A, M, N, V, W, X) are sharp and angular. Proportions are compact and columnar in many letters, with a tall lowercase presence relative to capitals and simplified terminals that keep the silhouette clean and graphic.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, film or event titles, packaging accents, and brand marks where its cut-in details can be appreciated. It can work well for short lines of text and identity systems that want a distinctive vintage-modern flavor, but the internal breaks suggest using it at moderate to large sizes for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is unmistakably Art Deco and stage-forward: glamorous, poster-ready, and slightly enigmatic due to the carved internal breaks. The repeating vertical cuts add a sense of machinery and ornament at once, giving the face a vintage nightlife feel while staying resolutely modern in geometry.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans forms through an Art Deco lens, using consistent internal cutouts to create contrast, ornament, and a distinctive brandable texture. The goal seems to be strong, instantly recognizable silhouettes with decorative structure built into the strokes rather than added flourishes.
The internal slits and notches are a defining motif and become most prominent at larger sizes, where they read as intentional detailing rather than texture. Numerals and key capitals (like O, G, Q, S) show strong black/white interplay, producing high visual energy and a slightly cinematic, sign-painting presence.
