A geometric, all-caps-forward sans with dramatic internal cut-ins and flared terminals that create a carved, notched silhouette. Curves are broad and taut (notably in C, G, O, Q, S), while many verticals read as solid slabs with abrupt transitions into thinner joins, producing a strong light–dark rhythm. Several letters feature distinctive wedge-like apertures and inset counters, giving forms like E, F, P, R, and a–e a partially stenciled feel. The lowercase maintains a similar construction with compact bowls and pronounced notches, and the numerals mix round, weighty curves with sharp, angled details for a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, poster titles, and branding where distinctive silhouettes and a bold light–dark rhythm are assets. It can work well for retro-themed packaging, venue or event signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a carved, Deco-inspired voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the inset details remain clear.
The overall tone feels theatrical and vintage, with an Art Deco–leaning sense of engineered elegance. Its sharp insets and flared cuts suggest signage, marquees, and period titling, balancing opulence with a slightly industrial, machined edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a memorable, period-evocative display sans by combining geometric foundations with carved, stencil-like incisions. Those repeated notches and flares create a strong identity while keeping the letterforms broadly familiar and highly graphic.
The font’s signature comes from consistent wedge incisions and asymmetric cut terminals that create recognizable silhouettes at a distance. Spacing in the sample text appears set up for impactful headlines rather than quiet paragraph reading, as the strong internal contrast and notches generate a lively, attention-grabbing pattern across lines.
