A high-contrast display sans with geometric construction and an Art Deco–leaning inline treatment. Strokes frequently split into a thick outer form paired with a thin inner rule or vertical inline, creating a poster-like rhythm and a sense of dimensionality. Rounds are clean and near-circular, while many verticals are straight, tall, and tightly controlled; crossbars and joins tend toward minimal, crisp connections. The overall color on the page alternates between bold dark wedges and fine hairlines, producing lively, shimmering texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short editorial display where its inline contrast can read clearly. It can add distinctive personality to posters, event branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks, particularly in larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The tone feels classic Deco and metropolitan—polished, dramatic, and slightly theatrical. Its striped/inline details suggest vintage cinema titles, luxury packaging, and nightlife signage, balancing elegance with graphic punch.
The design appears intended as a decorative, high-contrast display face that modernizes Art Deco cues through geometric sans construction and consistent inline striping. The goal is to deliver instant visual flair and a luxury, vintage-tinged voice for attention-grabbing typography.
Letterforms emphasize verticality and symmetry, with simplified, sans-like terminals and consistent internal striping that reads as an intentional decorative system rather than incidental contrast. The numerals and capitals appear especially showy, while the lowercase retains the same motif for cohesion in short text settings.
