A geometric display face built from solid, high-contrast forms with a narrow inline slit that runs through many strokes, creating a carved, poster-like effect. Curves are round and clean, while joins and terminals tend toward crisp, simplified endings with occasional flared or wedge-like moments in diagonals and arms. Proportions feel broad and open, with a tall lowercase presence and compact counters that read more like cut shapes than traditional serifs. Overall rhythm is decorative and sculptural, prioritizing striking silhouettes and consistent internal striping over text-style regularity.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, event posters, brand marks, packaging titles, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) but reads most comfortably when given generous size and spacing.
The font projects a classic Art Deco and early-cinema mood—glossy, urbane, and slightly theatrical. The inline carving adds a sense of marquee lighting and engraved signage, giving words a dramatic, vintage-luxe tone that feels at home in nightlife, fashion, and period-inspired branding.
The design appears intended to translate Art Deco geometry into a bold, ornamental display voice, using a consistent inline cut to mimic engraving or illuminated striping. The goal is strong shelf impact and period character rather than neutral readability.
The inline treatment is a defining feature and becomes especially noticeable in round letters and numerals, where the internal cut creates a strong sense of depth and motion. Some glyphs incorporate stylized diagonals and sharp internal angles that add extra sparkle, increasing personality but also making spacing and word-shape feel more display-oriented.
