A display sans with a modular, geometric construction and striking internal cut-ins that create a stencil-like, two-tone feel. Many forms alternate between heavy, solid blocks and hairline connections or curves, producing sharp contrast and a distinctly segmented rhythm. Counters and bowls are often partially “scooped” or notched, with circular shapes reading as disks interrupted by thin vertical or curved strokes. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent system of block terminals, simplified joins, and compact apertures, while the numerals echo the same split-fill logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to posters, headlines, covers, branding, and packaging where its segmented, high-contrast construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for short phrases, pull quotes, event titles, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a distinctive, graphic silhouette. For extended reading, it is more effective as a display accent than as body text.
The overall tone is bold, theatrical, and design-forward, evoking Art Deco poster lettering and contemporary fashion/editorial typography. Its high-impact shapes feel confident and slightly futuristic, with a playful edge created by the unexpected cutouts and asymmetric weight placement.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that merges geometric sans proportions with decorative, stencil-like interruptions to create a memorable texture. Its systematized cut-ins and alternating fills suggest a focus on visual impact, rhythmic patterning, and a strong, contemporary take on Deco-inspired forms.
The visual color is intentionally uneven across letters due to the alternating solid and hairline segments, which increases sparkle but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Round letters (like O/Q) and diagonals (like V/W/X) show the strongest personality, while simple verticals and slabs reinforce the modular system. In text samples, the font reads best with generous size and spacing where the internal cut structure remains legible.
