A geometric display face built from bold, solid forms interrupted by sharp wedge cuts and collapsed counters. Many letters alternate between heavy filled shapes and slender monoline strokes, creating striking high-contrast rhythm across words. Curves are largely circular and clean, while joins and terminals often resolve into pointed teardrops, notches, or triangular bite-outs that read almost stencil-like. Proportions vary noticeably per glyph, with some letters becoming near-circular masses (e.g., O-like forms) while others stay narrow and linear, emphasizing a modular, constructed feel.
Best suited to large sizes where the cutouts and collapsed counters can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, title cards, and branding marks. It can also work for short packaging callouts or signage where a bold, graphic voice is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading due to its highly stylized letterforms.
The overall tone is theatrical and stylized, mixing sleek modern geometry with a vintage display sensibility. The filled-in interiors and sharp cutouts give it a mysterious, poster-ready attitude—part retro-futurist, part ornamental. Its exaggerated silhouettes and alternating light/heavy strokes make it feel playful yet bold, with a strong graphic presence.
The design appears intended to turn familiar Latin shapes into graphic symbols through counter removal, geometric construction, and dramatic contrast. By combining solid masses with hairline strokes and consistent wedge notches, it aims to create a distinctive, decorative texture that reads as both modern and vintage-display.
Legibility is intentionally idiosyncratic: several characters rely on distinctive cut-ins rather than traditional counters, and some lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified constructions. Numerals show the same contrast strategy, with some digits rendered as thin outlines and others as solid, sculpted shapes, reinforcing a deliberately irregular texture in running text.
