A geometric display face built from oversized circular bowls, triangular joins, and hard-edged terminals, with frequent mid-stroke cut lines that split counters and strokes into bold black masses and open outlines. Many letters alternate between solid fills and hollow/outlined segments, creating a two-part construction that feels carved and modular. Curves are clean and near-monoline in outline portions, while filled portions read as heavy blocks; together they create sharp internal contrast and a strong figure/ground effect. Proportions are expansive with broad rounds and wide capitals, and spacing in the sample text shows an intentionally irregular rhythm driven by each glyph’s built-in cutouts and varying sidebearings.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and branding accents where its split shapes and inline cuts can read clearly. It also works well on packaging and album or event graphics that benefit from a retro-futuristic, high-impact typographic texture.
The overall tone is theatrical and graphic, mixing vintage Art Deco cues with a modern, almost sci‑fi sense of fragmentation. The split fills and inline breaks make the text feel animated and slightly mischievous, with a bold poster-like presence that prioritizes visual impact over quiet readability.
The design appears intended as a statement display font that turns each character into a constructed graphic object. By combining carved inline breaks with alternating solid and hollow segments, it aims to create striking figure/ground play and a distinctive decorative rhythm in titles and branding.
Several glyphs use a consistent horizontal “slice” motif through bowls (notably rounded letters and numerals), while diagonals often terminate in sharp wedges, reinforcing a faceted, sign-painter-meets-geometry personality. The strong alternation between filled shapes and outline-only strokes creates a vibrating texture at paragraph scale, best leveraged with generous tracking and line spacing.
