A heavy display sans with pronounced contrast and a carved, stenciled feel created by vertical slit cut-ins and notched joins. Forms lean geometric—round letters are built from near-circular bowls—while terminals often end in crisp wedges or abrupt shears rather than soft curves. Counters tend to be tight, and many glyphs show deliberate internal apertures (notably in C, G, O, Q, and several numerals), producing a strong black-and-white rhythm at text sizes. Proportions are broad and assertive, with uppercase and figures designed to read as solid blocks punctuated by controlled negative space.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and entertainment/editorial titling. It holds attention in larger sizes where the internal cut-ins and notches remain intentional and crisp, and can be used sparingly for emphasis in layout systems.
The overall tone is bold and stylized, evoking Art Deco signage and theatrical title lettering. The high drama comes from the sharp cut-ins and sculpted contrast, giving the face a polished, poster-ready presence that feels vintage yet graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, period-tinged display voice by combining geometric sans foundations with sculpted contrast and stencil-like incisions. The consistent motif of internal slits and angular terminals suggests an aim for strong recognizability in branding and titling rather than neutral text work.
Round characters rely on distinctive vertical openings that can read as a signature motif across the set. Lowercase mixes simplified geometric construction with occasional humanist cues (e.g., single-storey a and g), keeping the texture lively while staying clearly display-oriented.
