A geometric, display-oriented sans with sharp, chamfered corners and frequent octagonal turns that give many bowls and counters a faceted, cut-gem feel. Strokes are built from solid black forms with a consistent inline channel cut through them; in verticals this often resolves as parallel rails, and in diagonals it becomes a centered stripe. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments, producing crisp junctions and a slightly modular rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing reads fairly open for a display face, helping the internal carving remain legible at moderate sizes.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, and brand marks where the inline carving can read clearly. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefits from a stylized, architectural tone, while extended body text will feel busy due to the strong internal striping.
The faceted construction and carved inline detailing evoke classic Deco ornament with a streamlined, machine-made edge. Its look feels architectural and showy, combining elegance with a slightly sci‑fi, instrument-panel precision.
The design appears intended to translate Deco-inspired geometry into a bold, contemporary display face by combining faceted letterforms with a consistent inline cut that adds depth and ornament without relying on contrast or curvature.
Several letters emphasize vertical structure with split stems, while rounded shapes (like O/0 and C) are drawn as angular loops, reinforcing a consistent polygonal theme. The inline treatment remains visually dominant in text, creating a strong patterning effect that becomes more decorative as the size decreases.
