A high-contrast geometric sans with dramatic alternation between heavy verticals and extremely thin hairlines. Many glyphs are built from solid slabs interrupted by narrow inline cuts and split counters, creating a semi-stenciled, poster-like construction. Curves are clean and near-circular (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while diagonals and joins stay crisp, producing a tall, display-forward rhythm. Spacing appears relatively open and the overall texture is strongly vertical, with consistent thin rules used for crossbars, bowls, and internal detailing.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where its inline cuts and extreme contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for event titling and editorial pull quotes, but is less appropriate for long text or small sizes where the hairlines and internal divisions may lose clarity.
The style reads as classic Art Deco with a luxe, nightlife sensibility—sleek, high-fashion, and a bit dramatic. The sharp contrast and segmented forms give it a marquee and cinema-era feel, suggesting sophistication and spectacle more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke early 20th‑century modern glamour through geometric construction, extreme contrast, and decorative inline segmentation. Its letterforms prioritize striking silhouette and ornamental interior structure to create immediate visual impact in display typography.
Distinctive split counters and inline divisions are a defining motif across both uppercase and lowercase, and the figures follow the same contrasting logic for a cohesive set. The hairline strokes are especially delicate, so the design relies on ample size and clean reproduction to preserve its internal cuts and fine crossbars.
