A high-contrast, geometric sans with hairline curves and prominent vertical stems that often appear as paired inline strokes or as solid columns. Bowls and counters are built from clean circular arcs, frequently interrupted by a straight vertical element that creates a split, semi-stenciled look (notably in C/G/O/Q and several numerals). Terminals are sharp and clean, with minimal rounding, and the overall construction favors symmetrical, display-oriented forms over texty modulation. Spacing and rhythm feel poster-like, with strong black/white patterning driven by the alternating solid and hairline components.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its high-contrast patterning and geometric splits can read clearly. It works well for event titles, fashion and hospitality identities, and signage-style applications that benefit from a decorative but clean, structured voice. For small text, its hairlines and internal splits are likely to require generous size and careful reproduction.
The font evokes classic Art Deco signage and luxury titling, mixing sleek geometry with dramatic contrast for a polished, cinematic feel. Its split bowls and inline verticals add a sense of stagecraft and ornament while remaining fundamentally sans in structure. The result feels upscale, retro-modern, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a contemporary Art Deco revival for display typography, emphasizing bold vertical rhythm, geometric bowls, and ornamental inline/stencil-like cuts. Its goal is to deliver a memorable silhouette and strong black/white texture while staying within a sans, largely geometric framework.
Distinctive details include a triangular, tapered capital A, angular diagonals in letters like N/W/X, and numerals that echo the split-bowl motif (especially 2, 5, 8, 9). The lowercase maintains the same graphic logic, with tall stems and simplified joins that keep texture crisp at display sizes.
