A stylized display sans with sharp, wedge-like terminals and frequent triangular cut-ins that create a carved, segmented look. Curves are drawn with pointed apexes and notched transitions rather than smooth continuous rounds, giving bowls and counters a faceted rhythm. Strokes stay relatively consistent in thickness, but the interior cutaways and blade-like ends introduce strong directional contrast and a slightly “constructed” feel. Spacing and widths vary by letter, with compact joins in some glyphs and broader, sweeping shapes in others, reinforcing a dynamic, modular texture in words.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where the faceted, cut-in detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for logotypes, posters, title cards, and entertainment-oriented branding that benefits from a retro-futurist or cinematic voice. For longer passages, the strong stylistic cuts and tight counters suggest using generous size and spacing for clarity.
The font projects a sleek, dramatic tone that reads as retro-futurist and Art Deco–adjacent, with an ornamental edge coming from its sharp terminals and sculpted counters. It feels assertive and cinematic—more about atmosphere and identity than neutrality—while still retaining a clean sans foundation.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean sans skeleton with Art Deco–influenced geometry, using wedge terminals and carved counters to create a distinctive, high-impact display texture. The recurring notches and pointed curves seem purpose-built to add motion and drama while maintaining consistent stroke weight and a cohesive graphic system.
Distinctive cutouts appear repeatedly in curved letters and numerals, producing small ink-trap-like corners and giving the black shapes a chiseled silhouette. The lowercase is notably stylized, with simplified constructions and tight counters that emphasize the font’s graphic character over conventional text familiarity.
