A geometric display face built from heavy, simplified letterforms with consistent inline cuts that create a striped, hollowed impression. Strokes are largely uniform and low-contrast, with clean, hard terminals and rounded bowls where needed; many glyphs show parallel vertical channels and split counters. The construction favors bold silhouettes and broad proportions, with open, graphic apertures and a steady rhythm that reads as intentionally decorative rather than text-focused.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the carved inline detail can be appreciated: posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold identity marks. It can also work for short pulls or captions when generous size and spacing are available.
The repeated inline carving and strong geometry evoke a distinctly Art Deco, marquee-like mood—stylish, dramatic, and slightly playful. The face feels built for attention and spectacle, with a retro-modern glamour that suits headline statements and brand moments.
The design appears intended to translate Art Deco-inspired striping into a contemporary, high-contrast-from-negative-space display style. Its goal is to deliver instant visual character and a memorable texture through consistent inline cut-outs across the alphabet and numerals.
Distinctive vertical striping is especially prominent in straight-sided letters, while round characters use segmented rings and interrupted strokes to maintain the same visual motif. In running text the inline gaps create a lively texture, but the decorative breaks can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, reinforcing its role as a display design.
