A high-contrast display sans with sharp, geometric construction and conspicuous flared stroke endings that read like wedge-cut terminals rather than true serifs. Curves are broadly drawn and often paired with vertical stress, while straight strokes are crisp and planar, creating a sculpted, poster-like rhythm. Counters skew toward compact, teardrop or oval shapes in letters like O, e, and g, and joins in K, M, N, and W form decisive angles. Figures and punctuation follow the same logic, with bold verticals, tapered horizontals, and a distinctly graphic, cut-out silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where its contrast and wedge terminals can read clearly—headlines, posters, logotypes, and editorial display. It can add a period-correct Art Deco accent to packaging and event materials, and works well when a sleek, dramatic voice is desired.
The font conveys a glamorous, vintage-modern tone with a strong Deco flavor—confident, dramatic, and slightly cinematic. Its sharp contrasts and flared ends add a sense of luxury and spectacle, making even simple words feel curated and stylized.
The design appears intended to reinterpret sans lettering through a Deco-inspired, high-contrast lens, prioritizing silhouette, rhythm, and terminal flair for impactful display typography. It emphasizes stylish geometry and sculpted strokes to deliver strong identity in short texts.
Spacing appears intentionally open at the display sizes shown, helping the heavy verticals and tight counters avoid clogging. Some glyphs show distinctive, almost stencil-like internal shaping (notably in rounded letters and the 8), reinforcing the crafted, ornamental impression without relying on traditional serifs.
