A stylized geometric sans with dramatic contrast created by thick, rounded bowls cut through with very thin horizontal counters. Many letters combine heavy circular or oval forms with hairline vertical strokes or diagonals, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Curves are smooth and near-perfectly geometric, terminals are clean, and several glyphs (notably C/G/O/Q and their lowercase counterparts) feature a distinctive banded “eclipse” interior. Widths vary by character, and the overall silhouette alternates between dense black masses and needle-like strokes for a striking light–dark cadence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand marks where its distinctive split-counter forms can read clearly. It works well for fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle packaging, as well as editorial titles that benefit from a dramatic, high-impact voice. Use with ample size and spacing to preserve the hairline details and maintain legibility.
The typeface conveys a sleek, retro-futurist tone with strong Art Deco echoes—glamorous, cinematic, and slightly mechanical. Its exaggerated light–dark interplay feels theatrical and fashion-forward, projecting confidence and a curated, design-led personality.
The design appears intended as a statement display sans that reinterprets geometric letterforms through extreme contrast and banded counters. Rather than neutral text utility, it prioritizes recognizability and a signature motif that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The banded counters and occasional hairline stems can become visually dominant at smaller sizes or in busy layouts, where the thin strokes may fade relative to the heavy curves. Numerals follow the same motif—especially 0, 6, 8, and 9 with split or banded interiors—reinforcing a cohesive, logo-like system.
