A stylized geometric sans with dramatic thick–thin interplay and a signature inline/striped construction. Many glyphs combine solid vertical slabs with hairline curves, creating a split-stroke look where bowls and counters are often suggested by a thin outline against a filled half. Proportions are tall and display-oriented, with narrow apertures, crisp joins, and a mix of rounded forms and sharp, triangular diagonals. The overall rhythm is punchy and graphic, reading as a set of constructed forms rather than conventional continuous strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where the inline striping and extreme stroke interplay remain clear—such as posters, magazine headers, brand marks, packaging, and event or nightlife promotion. It also works well for short phrases, titling, and signage-style layouts where its graphic construction becomes a central visual feature.
The font projects a classic Art Deco sensibility—sleek, luxe, and slightly theatrical. Its strong vertical emphasis and ornamental striping evoke vintage signage, cocktail-era posters, and modernist architectural lettering while still feeling clean and contemporary in silhouette.
The design appears intended as a decorative display sans that reinterprets geometric forms through contrast and inline segmentation. It prioritizes visual impact and period-modern character over neutral text utility, aiming to create a distinctive, logo-friendly voice with strong vertical structure.
The design relies on internal contrast and negative space effects, so letterforms can appear to “flip” between outline and solid depending on size and background. Numerals and capitals carry the most emblematic striped geometry, while lowercase maintains the same split-stroke logic with a distinctive, display-forward texture.
