A heavy, geometric display sans with broad proportions and crisp, clean outlines. Letterforms are built from assertive block strokes with an inline cut creating a consistent white stripe that reads as a carved channel through the black mass; many glyphs also show subtle double-line/track effects that reinforce the dimensional feel. Curves are generous and circular (notably in C, G, O, Q), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, Y are sharp and symmetric, producing a strong, poster-like rhythm. Counters are relatively small against the overall weight, and terminals are mostly squared, keeping the silhouette compact and architectural.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and logo wordmarks where the inline cut can be appreciated at display sizes. It can also work for short brand phrases on packaging or event materials, especially in retro or Deco-themed designs.
The inline carving and bold geometry evoke a classic marquee and Art Deco flavor—confident, flashy, and a little theatrical. It carries a retro showcard energy that feels suited to nightlife, cinema, and vintage-inspired branding where high visual punch matters more than subtlety.
Designed to maximize impact with wide, geometric forms while adding visual interest through an engraved inline channel. The goal appears to be a decorative display face that stays structured and legible while delivering a distinctly vintage, show-oriented personality.
The inline detailing is a key readability feature: it breaks up the dense black shapes and adds a sense of movement and depth, especially in rounded glyphs and numerals. Overall color on the line is strong and dark, so generous spacing and moderate sizes help the internal striping stay clear in text settings.
