A sculpted sans with a geometric backbone and pronounced modulation between thick verticals and thinner joins. Curves are clean and near-circular in letters like O/C, while many terminals resolve into sharp, angled cuts that read as subtle flares rather than true serifs. The uppercase has a stately, display-forward presence with wide bowls and confident counters; the lowercase pairs compact, rounded forms with distinctive angular details (notably in a, e, s, and z). Overall spacing feels deliberate and slightly tight, creating a steady, poster-like rhythm in words.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for branding systems, magazine/editorial typography, posters, and packaging—especially where a refined, vintage-leaning modern tone is desired. For extended small-size reading, its strong modulation may call for careful sizing and spacing.
The tone is glamorous and slightly theatrical, evoking Art Deco and vintage modernist signage while still feeling contemporary. The sharp terminals and high-contrast structure give it a fashion/editorial edge, reading confident, polished, and a bit dramatic.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that blends geometric construction with Deco-inspired detailing. Its goal is to deliver a premium, stylish voice while remaining clean and sans in overall structure, giving designers a distinctive option for modern branding and editorial settings.
Several glyphs emphasize personality through asymmetric or cut-in details—such as the single-storey-style construction of the lowercase a and the stylized, open e—while keeping a consistent geometric logic across the set. Numerals share the same contrast and crisp terminal treatment, giving figures a refined, display-friendly look.
