A geometric sans with dramatic, cut-out contrast created by alternating solid stems and thin hairline strokes. Many letters feature vertical striping or a split-stem construction, while bowls and counters are often formed by partial arcs that leave intentional negative space. Proportions are generously wide with clean, upright structure and a crisp, high-precision feel; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn and emphasize the razor-thin/thick interplay. The lowercase maintains a simple, modern skeleton with distinctive single-storey forms and frequent stem-splitting details that keep rhythm consistent across the set.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as posters, magazine covers, branding wordmarks, and packaging where its internal striping and negative-space shaping can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial headings or event graphics that benefit from a retro-modern voice. For extended reading or small UI text, the internal cuts and hairlines may be too delicate and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is glamorous and stage-like, evoking vintage signage and early modernist display typography. The repeated stripes and dramatic contrast read as confident and stylized, with a sense of sophistication that feels suited to nightlife, fashion, and cultural posters. Its personality is bold and graphic rather than neutral, lending an intentional sense of spectacle to headlines.
This font appears designed to reinterpret geometric sans forms through a high-drama, decorative contrast system, using split stems and partial bowls to create a signature striped texture. The intent is clearly display-first: to produce memorable silhouettes and an ornamental rhythm without resorting to traditional serifs. Its consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a cohesive identity tool for modern retro branding.
The design’s signature is its internal striping and interrupted curves, which creates a dynamic texture in words but can also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same motif, mixing open curves with strong verticals, reinforcing the font’s poster-oriented character. Spacing appears tuned for display settings where the internal negative shapes can remain clearly resolved.
