A stylized geometric sans with heavy, even stroke weight and frequent triangular cut-ins and notched terminals. Curves are built from broad arcs with sharp, chiseled joins, while verticals often end in angled wedges that create a stenciled, carved feel. Counters tend to be tight and circular/oval, and several forms use deliberate gaps or incisions that interrupt otherwise smooth bowls. The overall rhythm alternates between rounded mass and crisp facets, producing a distinctive, patterned texture in words.
Best suited for display settings where its cut-in terminals and geometric construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, identity marks, packaging, and short signage. It performs especially well when set large with generous spacing, where the notches read as intentional ornament rather than visual noise.
The tone reads retro-futurist and theatrical, with a playful yet assertive presence. Its carved notches and wedge terminals evoke Art Deco signage and ornamental titling, giving text a distinctive “crafted” personality rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, era-referential display voice by combining rounded geometric skeletons with sharp, incised terminals. The consistent use of wedges and notches suggests a deliberate system meant to create a cohesive decorative texture across letters and numerals.
In running text, the notched details create strong internal highlights and a lively texture, but also reduce clarity at smaller sizes as bowls and apertures become compact. Numerals and capitals carry the same wedge-and-notch logic, keeping the set visually cohesive and well-suited to bold, graphic composition.
