A sharply geometric display face built from thick black strokes cut through with a fine inline channel, producing a hollowed, two-tone effect within each letterform. The design shows very high contrast through the interplay of heavy verticals and hairline-like interior cuts, with frequent use of straight stems paired with circular bowls and clean arcs. Capitals are narrow and tall with crisp terminals; round letters (C, O, Q) lean toward near-perfect circles, while diagonals (V, W, X, Z) are angular and faceted. The lowercase follows a similar geometric logic with simplified constructions, single‑storey forms, and a consistent inline placement that emphasizes vertical rhythm; numerals mix straight-backed figures with round counters, maintaining the same cut-through detailing.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks where the carved inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and event or entertainment graphics that benefit from a dramatic, vintage-inflected aesthetic.
The inline carving and bold black presence create an unmistakably glamorous, stage-ready tone reminiscent of early 20th‑century poster lettering. It feels polished and ceremonial, with a luxurious, boutique character that reads as both vintage and stylized rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric display lettering with an inline cut that adds depth and ornament without relying on shading or outlines. Its consistent internal channeling and bold silhouettes suggest a focus on high-impact typography for editorial and promotional applications.
The inline treatment is most striking on vertical stems and large curves, where the interior channel becomes a strong graphic motif. Several glyphs use asymmetrical black/white distribution and tightly closed counters, making the face more impactful at larger sizes where the internal cuts remain clearly visible.
