A faceted, oblique sans built from straight segments that replace curves with crisp planar corners. Strokes are low-contrast and fairly uniform, producing a sturdy, graphic texture. Counters tend to read as angular bowls and polygonal apertures, with slightly irregular vertex angles that add a hand-cut feel. Proportions lean broad and open, with a tall lowercase that keeps words readable while the slanted construction drives a forward rhythm in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short statements. It also works well in tech-leaning or industrial themes and anywhere a sharp, angular voice is desired, but it’s less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels sharp, energetic, and slightly rugged—like lettering cut from sheet material or assembled from polygonal parts. Its angularity gives it a technical, industrial edge, while the playful inconsistency of facets keeps it from feeling sterile.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric, faceted motif into a practical sans for attention-grabbing typography, prioritizing a distinctive polygonal silhouette and strong rhythm in words over smooth curvature.
The design’s segmentation is consistent across rounds (C, O, S, 0, 8), creating a cohesive “crystal-like” silhouette. Diagonals and terminals stay blunt rather than tapered, which helps maintain a bold, poster-friendly color. Numerals match the alphabet’s angular logic, making mixed alphanumeric settings look unified.
