A heavy, geometric display face built from tall verticals and rounded bowls, with a consistent inline cut that reads as a thin white stripe running through most strokes. Many letters feel constructed from simple cylinders and half-circles, producing clean silhouettes with abrupt terminals and occasional flared or tapered joins. Counters are often reduced or reshaped by the inline, giving characters a carved, poster-ready look, while diagonals and curves stay crisp and controlled. Lowercase forms generally echo the uppercase geometry, with single-storey a and g and compact, simplified details that prioritize pattern and rhythm over text precision.
Best suited for short display settings where the inline carving can be appreciated—posters, event titles, packaging fronts, signage, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, but the dense internal detailing suggests avoiding long passages of small text.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking marquee signage, cabaret posters, and early 20th-century modernist ornament. The carved inline adds a sense of sparkle and motion, making the face feel glamorous and slightly eccentric rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, geometric silhouette while adding decorative interest through a carved inline, creating an instant period-leaning, showpiece aesthetic for attention-grabbing typography.
The inline cut interacts strongly with narrow joins and small counters (notably in letters like e, s, a, and numerals), creating striking internal shapes that can close up at smaller sizes. In larger settings it produces a distinctive stripe-and-silhouette texture that stays consistent across mixed-case and figures.
