A stylized sans with geometric construction and sharp, tapered joins, built from clean verticals and rounded bowls. Many capitals feature a distinctive inline treatment: a narrow interior slit or parallel stripe that creates a split-stem effect, while curved forms often show a pronounced shaded segment that reads like a cutout or mask. Counters tend to be compact and the overall rhythm alternates between solid strokes and intentional voids, producing a crisp, graphic texture. Lowercase is simplified and narrow, with minimal terminals and a small x-height that emphasizes ascenders and the tall, elegant silhouette in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where the inline and cutout detailing can be appreciated—posters, event titles, packaging, and identity work. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes at moderate sizes, but its signature internal gaps and compact lowercase suggest prioritizing display use over long-body reading.
The face evokes a jazz-age, Art Deco mood—sleek, urbane, and slightly dramatic. Its built-in striping and shaded cutouts create a marquee-like sparkle that feels vintage without becoming ornamental, suggesting nightlife, posters, and period-inspired branding.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans lettering through a period-inspired inline and masked-stroke system, creating a distinctive, brandable look with strong silhouette recognition. The goal is impact and atmosphere—delivering an Art Deco flavor while keeping letterforms fundamentally sans and clean.
The inline/cutout motif is consistent across many key letters (notably rounded capitals and straight-stem forms), giving the font an immediately recognizable signature. In running text it maintains a light, airy color due to the internal openings, so it reads more like a display design than a utilitarian sans.
