A geometric sans with an Art Deco construction and extreme stroke play, pairing hairline arcs with solid vertical slabs and occasional inline striping. Bowls and counters are drawn as thin circular segments that often meet heavy, rectangular stems, creating a cut-and-fill look that reads almost stencil-like. Curves are clean and near-perfectly round, terminals are crisp, and diagonals in letters like V/W/X/Z are sharp and graphic. Proportions are compact in the capitals while the lowercase feels tall and open, with generous inner space and a distinctly architectural rhythm across words.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline contours and internal striping can be appreciated—posters, magazine covers, branding marks, and premium packaging. It also works well for short editorial headlines or pull quotes where its rhythmic contrast can add personality without needing long-form readability.
The overall tone is luxurious and period-evocative, recalling 1920s–30s signage and cinema titling. The bold vertical anchors and delicate hairlines give it a dramatic, high-society feel—confident, stylish, and slightly theatrical. In text, the repeating contrast motif creates a decorative cadence that feels more display-oriented than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to reinterpret geometric sans forms through a Deco lens, using a repeatable contrast system (solid verticals plus hairline curves) to create a distinctive, brandable texture. Its intent is to deliver instant period character and visual drama while remaining structurally clean and geometric.
The design relies on consistent vertical emphasis: many glyphs repeat a signature heavy left stem paired with thin contour strokes elsewhere, producing a strong left-to-right texture. Numerals echo the same motif, with simplified forms and prominent filled segments that keep the set visually cohesive in headlines.
