A heavy, right-slanted serif display with sharp wedge terminals and a distinctly cut, stencil-like construction. Many strokes are interrupted by triangular notches and diagonal apertures, creating strong internal rhythm and pronounced negative shapes. Curves are simplified into broad, geometric arcs (notably in O/C/G/Q and the numerals), while verticals and diagonals stay firm and blocky, giving the face a compact, poster-driven presence. The overall spacing feels deliberately shaped around the cut-ins, with forms that read as sculpted rather than written.
Best used for short, prominent settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging where the carved details can be read clearly. It also suits title cards and editorial openers that want a period-leaning, graphic voice. For comfortable reading, it benefits from generous size and spacing so the stencil-like cut-ins don’t visually fill in.
The font projects a retro showcard energy with a cinematic, Art Deco flavor—bold, confident, and slightly mysterious. The carved interruptions and sharp angles add a dramatic, marquee-like tone that feels suited to titles and attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended as a high-impact decorative serif that merges wedge-serif structure with a repeating cut-out motif, delivering an Art Deco–influenced, poster-ready silhouette. Its consistent slant and geometric simplification suggest a focus on strong shapes, fast recognition, and a distinctive, branded texture in display typography.
The diagonal slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the repeated triangular cut motif creates a cohesive system across the alphabet. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic as the caps (single-storey a, geometric e, and simplified joins), reinforcing its display intent. Numerals echo the same carved geometry, maintaining a uniform, emblematic look in mixed alphanumeric settings.
