A geometric display face built from tall, condensed capitals and compact lowercase with sharp, rectilinear construction. Strokes are heavy and strongly contrasted by narrow internal channels that read like an inline cut through the black shapes, creating a hollowed, poster-ready silhouette. Corners are mostly squared with occasional chamfered or notched joins, and several glyphs show deliberate irregularities in stroke edges that evoke a hand-cut or carved finish. Counters tend toward squarish forms, terminals are blunt, and spacing feels tight and rhythmic, reinforcing a vertical, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event graphics, storefront or venue signage, and bold editorial headlines where the carved inline can be appreciated. It also works well for logos and packaging that want a retro, crafted, high-impact look, especially in single-color applications.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical with a retro showcard flavor, combining a classic geometric backbone with a slightly quirky, crafted edge. The inline carving adds sparkle and motion, giving headlines a marquee-like presence that feels playful, dramatic, and a bit mysterious.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, architectural letterforms while adding visual intrigue via a carved inline that breaks up mass and creates dimensionality. Its slightly irregular edge behavior suggests an aim toward a handmade showcard or cut-paper aesthetic rather than strict mechanical precision.
The inline detail becomes the dominant feature at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes it can visually merge, so the design reads best when given room. Numerals and caps share the same tall, blocky proportions, and the mixed straight-and-notched detailing creates an intentionally uneven, expressive rhythm across words.
