A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and smooth, mostly circular bowls, cut through by a consistent inline stripe that reads like a carved highlight. Strokes are broad and sculpted, with simplified joins and minimal modulation, giving the forms a chunky, poster-ready silhouette. The inline detail alternates between vertical and curved cuts depending on the glyph, creating a rhythmic, dimensional effect; counters stay open and clean, while terminals remain blunt and controlled. Overall proportions feel compact and sturdy, with clear, friendly lowercase and assertive, blocky capitals.
Best for display settings where the inline detail can read clearly: headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or title cards, but the decorative cut makes it less suitable for dense body text at small sizes.
The inline carving adds a glamorous, marquee-like sparkle that evokes Art Deco signage and vintage packaging. Its bold shapes and decorative incision create a confident, theatrical tone—simultaneously classic and playful—well suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, vintage-leaning display voice with a built-in highlight line, adding depth and ornament without sacrificing the solidity of the letterforms. The goal seems to be strong legibility at large sizes paired with a distinctive, period-inspired personality.
The inline is treated as a continuous negative cut rather than a true outline, which helps maintain strong color at large sizes while adding visual texture. The design leans on simple geometry (round O/Q, wide arches, and straight-sided stems), producing consistent rhythm across letters and numerals.
