A high-contrast, stylized sans with geometric construction and crisp, hairline connections to bold verticals. Many letters combine solid strokes with cut-in or inline-like negative shapes, creating a striped, poster-ready texture across words. Curves are clean and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), while terminals are generally blunt and precise. Proportions lean narrow in several capitals with prominent vertical emphasis, and counters are often partially closed or visually segmented, giving the design a deliberate, graphic rhythm.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and decorative internal detailing can read clearly. It can also work well on packaging, event materials, and editorial display lines that benefit from a vintage-modern, graphic texture.
The overall tone reads distinctly Art Deco: sleek, ornamental, and display-oriented without relying on traditional serifs. The dramatic contrast and internal striping add a sense of nightlife glamour and vintage cinema signage, with a slightly mischievous, theatrical edge in the lowercase forms.
The font appears designed to evoke a classic Deco sensibility through geometric letterforms, strong verticals, and ornamental inline/striped treatment, aiming for high-impact display presence rather than neutral text utility.
The design’s signature comes from the recurring vertical slabs and thin internal strokes that create alternating light/dark bands, especially noticeable in B, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, P, R, and several numerals. The lowercase shows playful, stylized structures (including single-storey forms and simplified joins) that prioritize pattern and silhouette over conventional text detailing.
