A stylized sans with squared, rounded-corner construction and deliberate stroke modulation. Vertical strokes read sturdy and even, while curves and junctions taper into pointed, flared terminals that create a crisp, carved rhythm. Bowls and counters tend toward rounded-rectangular shapes, and many letters use softened corners rather than true circles, giving the alphabet an engineered, monoline-derived framework with contrasting thick-to-thin accents. The overall texture is open and steady at larger sizes, with distinctive hooks and spurs on characters like J, S, and y that add motion without introducing true serifs.
Best suited for display typography where its shaped terminals and geometric counters can be appreciated—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes, but the decorative tapering and tight interior spaces make it less ideal for dense body text at small sizes.
The tone is distinctly Deco-leaning and retro-modern, mixing machine-age geometry with a slightly ornamental sharpness. It feels confident and theatrical, with a poster-like presence that suggests nightlife signage, classic packaging, or vintage sci‑fi titles.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized Art Deco voice: a clean sans foundation enhanced with tapered joins and flared terminals to create identity and impact. Its proportions and structured curves prioritize memorable silhouettes and strong word shapes for branding and title work.
Capitals are tall and columnar with rounded tops and squared shoulders, producing a consistent skyline and a strong sign-painting silhouette. Numerals and round letters lean toward squarish ovals, reinforcing the architectural feel and helping the design keep a firm, structured rhythm in all-caps settings.
