A high-contrast display sans with geometric construction and dramatic alternation between heavy vertical strokes and hairline curves. Many letters use an inline cut or split-stroke motif, creating the look of a dark slab paired with a narrow highlight. Bowls are clean and near-circular in forms like C/O/Q, while verticals are rigid and dominant, giving the alphabet a strong poster rhythm. Terminals are frequently flared or tapered, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are sharp and angular, reinforcing a crisp, stylized silhouette. Figures follow the same showy contrast, with distinctive, simplified shapes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its contrast and inline accents can read clearly—posters, storefront or event signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels glamorous and stage-ready, evoking vintage signage and early modernist display typography. The stark black-and-white contrast and inline detailing lend a refined, slightly theatrical personality that reads as premium and decorative rather than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a distinctive, period-evocative display voice by combining geometric sans structures with dramatic contrast and inline ornament. The intent appears to be instant visual impact and a luxurious, retro-futurist feel for branding and titling.
The inline/split treatment is not uniform across every glyph, creating a lively, handcrafted rhythm and intentional variety across the set. Counters tend to stay open and simple, but the extreme contrast and decorative cuts make small-size text more delicate than typical sans styling.
