A stylized display sans with tall, generously spaced capitals and dramatic thick–thin contrast expressed through razor-thin hairlines against heavier stems. Many glyphs feature internal inline cuts or vertical slits that carve the black forms, creating a layered, stencil-like rhythm without actual serifs. Curves are smooth and geometric, counters tend toward oval or circular shapes, and terminals are crisp and clean. The overall texture alternates between solid verticals and delicate interior lines, giving words a striped, architectural cadence.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its inline carving and contrast can read as intentional detail. It works especially well for poster-style compositions, brand marks, packaging titles, and editorial splash lines, and is most effective at medium-to-large sizes with ample tracking.
The font projects a classic Art Deco sensibility—sleek, elegant, and stage-ready. Its high-contrast cuts and elongated forms feel luxurious and slightly mysterious, evoking vintage cinema titles, cocktail-lounge signage, and fashion-era glamour.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through high-contrast striping and inline cuts, producing an immediately recognizable decorative signature while keeping overall letterforms clean and upright for structured layouts.
Distinctive zig-zag and split-stroke constructions appear in letters like M, N, V, W, and X, adding a sharp, graphic sparkle in uppercase settings. Numerals mirror the same contrast-and-inline motif, helping mixed alphanumeric settings maintain a consistent decorative voice.
