A stylized display face built from geometric letter skeletons and bold, rounded masses, punctuated by razor-thin inline cuts that run through stems, bowls, and diagonals. The design leans on crisp verticals and clean circular arcs, with pronounced contrast between solid black fills and delicate hairline elements. Several glyphs use split forms—half-filled bowls, sliced diagonals, and inset counters—creating a layered, cut-paper effect while keeping edges sharp and proportions open. Numerals and capitals share the same graphic logic, with simplified construction and consistent inline placement that reads as a continuous engraving line across the set.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short statements where the inline detailing can remain clear and intentional. It works well for editorial covers, event posters, branding accents, and premium packaging, especially when paired with simpler body text for contrast.
The overall tone feels decidedly Art Deco: elegant, dramatic, and architectural, with a polished nightclub or marquee sophistication. The strong black shapes and precise incisions suggest luxury and spectacle, giving text a poster-like presence even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic Deco-era display typography with a modern, high-contrast cut-and-inlay motif. Its goal is to deliver strong silhouette impact while adding refinement through engraved inline detail and geometric, fashion-forward letterforms.
The inline cuts act as both ornament and structure, guiding the eye along strokes and emphasizing vertical rhythm. Curved letters (like O/C/G-style forms) rely on smooth circular geometry, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y-style forms) become especially graphic due to the sliced interiors, producing a faceted, sign-painter feel.
