A high-contrast sans with an Art Deco-leaning, incised feel, built from crisp verticals and hairline horizontals that create a strong light–dark rhythm. Curves are broadly geometric yet tightened by wedge-like cut-ins and teardrop counters, producing distinctive silhouettes in letters like C, G, O, and Q. Many forms emphasize tall, straight stems and narrow apertures, while bowls and diagonals are pared back to essentials, giving the alphabet a compact, poster-ready profile. Numerals and lowercase echo the same split-stroke logic, with striking thick–thin alternation and sharp, clean terminals throughout.
Best suited for headlines, logos, magazine mastheads, and poster typography where its contrast and carved shapes can carry the composition. It can also work for branding and packaging in premium or retro-inspired contexts, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the fine strokes.
The font projects a polished, theatrical sophistication with a distinctly vintage-modern edge. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted negative spaces feel luxe and display-minded, evoking classic nightclub, cinema, and fashion-era typography while still reading as contemporary and graphic.
The design intention appears to be a display sans that captures Art Deco elegance through extreme contrast and sculptural, cut-in counters, prioritizing distinctive word shapes and a glamorous tone over neutral text economy.
The design relies on deliberate asymmetry and internal cutouts to create character, so texture can appear lively and varied across words. Spacing and color look most controlled at larger sizes, where the hairlines remain visible and the shaped counters read as intentional details rather than noise.
