A condensed display sans built from tall, vertical strokes and broad, rounded terminals. Many glyphs feature narrow interior cut-ins and slit-like apertures that create a subtle stencil effect, with counters often pushed to one side for a carved, asymmetrical rhythm. The overall construction is smooth and geometric rather than calligraphic, with consistent stroke mass and tightly controlled spacing that reads as a series of upright black columns. Lowercase forms mirror the uppercase’s architecture, using simplified bowls and compact counters to maintain the same vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where its vertical patterning can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for wordmarks and mastheads that want a stylized, retro-architectural voice, but is likely to feel heavy and busy in long-form copy or at small sizes.
The font projects a strong Art Deco sensibility: sleek, architectural, and stage-ready. Its patterned cut-ins and towering proportions feel cinematic and poster-like, suggesting nightlife, cabaret, and retro luxury rather than everyday neutrality. The tone is assertive and stylized, with a deliberate sense of drama and ornament achieved through negative-space carving instead of added flourishes.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice with a distinctive carved/stencil motif, evoking streamlined vintage signage and Deco-era geometry. Its letterforms prioritize silhouette and texture—creating a strong, repeatable rhythm across words—over open apertures or conventional text readability.
Curved letters like O/C/G show distinctive internal notches that give the face a signature ‘carved’ silhouette, while letters with diagonals (K, X, Y) retain the same monolithic weight and narrow openings. Numerals follow the same vertical, cut-out logic, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
