A geometric sans with heavy, solid letterforms interrupted by consistent inline cutouts that read as thin white channels. Strokes are broad with crisp terminals and mostly straight-sided construction, while bowls and rounds stay close to circular. The inline detailing is generally aligned to stems and diagonals, creating a striped, poster-like rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize the effect most strongly. Counters are generous for a display face, and the overall texture is high-impact with clear, simplified shapes and tight, controlled joins.
Best suited for large sizes where the inline cuts can be appreciated: posters, event and entertainment headlines, brand marks, packaging fronts, and signage. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, but the decorative striping is likely to overwhelm long passages of text at smaller sizes.
The inline carving and geometric skeleton give the face a distinctly vintage, Art Deco-leaning tone with a modern graphic edge. It feels theatrical and confident—more about spectacle and branding than neutrality—evoking signage, nightlife, and stylized “machine-age” design language.
Designed to deliver a bold geometric silhouette with a built-in decorative flourish, using inline cutouts to create contrast, depth, and a distinctive rhythm without adding extra outlines. The intent appears focused on display impact and a stylized retro sensibility.
The inline channels vary slightly in placement from glyph to glyph, adding a lively, custom-lettered feel while remaining systematic enough to read as a coherent family. Numerals follow the same motif, with strong silhouettes and the inline detail used to suggest dimensionality and motion.
