A tall, condensed display face built from slender strokes with a centered inline cut that creates a hollowed, double-struck look. The geometry leans toward simplified, classical proportions—straight verticals, crisp joins, and restrained curves—while the inline detail stays consistently placed through stems and bowls. Counters are relatively open for such a narrow design, and the overall rhythm is vertical and stately, with clean terminals and occasional gentle flaring in curved forms. Numerals follow the same elongated, decorative construction, emphasizing verticality and contrast between straight stems and rounded bowls.
Ideal for headlines, posters, menus, event materials, and branding where a decorative, period-tinged tone is desired. It also suits packaging and signage that benefit from an engraved or illuminated-lettering feel, and works well for short phrases, titles, and wordmarks where its vertical rhythm can shine.
The font evokes Jazz-age elegance and marquee sophistication, balancing refinement with a showy, decorative edge. Its inline carving reads like engraved signage or illuminated lettering, giving text a dressy, theatrical presence that feels both vintage and fashion-forward.
The design appears intended to capture an Art Deco–inspired, engraved inline effect in a condensed silhouette, prioritizing elegance and visual flair over neutral readability. Its consistent interior carving suggests a focus on distinctive texture and a premium, display-first voice.
Because the inline detail competes with surrounding strokes, the design reads best when given room—larger sizes, generous tracking, and clear contrast against the background help the interior line stay legible. In dense paragraphs the repeated vertical striping can create a strong texture, so it tends to function more as a headline and accent face than a workhorse text style.
