A stylized display sans with sharp, geometric construction and a distinctive bisected motif running through many round forms. Bowls and counters in letters like C, D, O, Q, e, and 8 are cut by a horizontal band, creating a stencil-like break and strong figure/ground contrast. Strokes alternate between thick, solid masses and hairline-thin connectors or entry strokes, yielding a crisp, poster-oriented rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with some letters expanding into wide, rounded forms while others stay narrow and vertical, giving the set a lively, uneven texture in lines of text.
Best suited for large-size applications where the internal cuts and hairline details can reproduce cleanly—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when used with generous tracking and ample size to preserve its distinctive interior banding.
The overall tone feels cinematic and period-inflected, evoking Art Deco signage and high-contrast editorial titling. The sliced counters and abrupt transitions add drama and a slightly mysterious, theatrical edge, making the face feel designed to be noticed rather than to disappear into body copy.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that blends geometric sans structure with ornamental counter-slicing to create instant recognizability. Its contrast and deliberate irregularity in widths suggest a focus on expressive titling and graphic identity rather than continuous reading.
Round letters rely heavily on the horizontal cut as a defining signature, while straight-sided capitals (E, F, H, I, L, T) read more austere and architectural by comparison. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with several figures combining heavy slabs and hairline strokes for a striking, emblematic look.
