A stylized display face built from slender, geometric forms with pronounced vertical emphasis and sharply reduced horizontals. Strokes are articulated with an internal inline cut that reads like a carved channel, frequently splitting stems into parallel tracks and adding a decorative stripe through curves. Round letters are drawn as near-perfect bowls with controlled apertures and occasional interior breaks; diagonals in letters like A, N, V, W, X are crisp and knife-like. The rhythm alternates between very thin hairlines and darker, stripe-like stem groupings, creating a vivid, poster-oriented texture with distinctive, sometimes asymmetrical construction across glyphs.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the inline channels and high-contrast structure can resolve cleanly. It suits headlines, event posters, logotypes, packaging, and title treatments, especially in retro or luxury contexts where ornament and rhythm are desired.
The overall tone is unmistakably Art Deco: polished, metropolitan, and slightly theatrical. The inline detailing and tall proportions give it a marquee-like flair that feels suited to nightlife, fashion, and period-inspired branding while still reading as refined rather than playful.
The design appears intended to evoke early 20th‑century modern glamour through geometric construction and a carved inline treatment, delivering a striking decorative voice for display typography rather than continuous reading.
The inline carving is a primary visual motif and becomes most prominent in vertical stems and in the bowls of C/G/O/Q and e. Letterforms are intentionally idiosyncratic, with decorative joins and occasional internal cut-ins that prioritize style over long-text neutrality.
