A stylized sans with geometric construction and striking stroke contrast, created by pairing heavy vertical elements with very thin connecting strokes and frequent inline/striped cut-ins. Many rounded letters use near-perfect circular bowls with vertical counters, while straighter forms emphasize tall, blocky stems and sharp joins. The rhythm is architectural and poster-like, with repeated vertical bars and slit counters giving the set a cohesive, engineered texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same motif, mixing solid masses with narrow internal channels for a distinctive, high-contrast silhouette.
Best suited for display typography: posters, headlines, event promotions, and brand marks where its engraved inline look can read as a design feature. It also works well on packaging and signage that aims for a vintage-luxury or stage-show aesthetic, especially at medium to large sizes where the internal cuts remain clear.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and theatrical—glamorous, slightly mysterious, and deliberately ornamental without relying on traditional serifs. The strong black shapes and engraved-style inlines suggest nightlife signage, vintage cinema titling, and luxury branding, with a confident, dramatic presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through an Art Deco lens, using extreme contrast and inline carving to add glamour and visual cadence. Its repeated vertical motifs and circular forms prioritize personality and impact over neutrality, targeting attention-grabbing titles and branded applications.
The inline cuts and vertical counter treatments create a pronounced pattern at text sizes, producing a striped, high-impact texture that favors short settings over extended reading. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown in the images; the visible set focuses on basic Latin letters and figures.
