This typeface is a monoline, narrow sans with a distinctly angular, faceted construction. Strokes keep an even thickness while corners are consistently chamfered or softly clipped, producing octagonal bowls and pointed joins rather than smooth curves. Proportions feel tall and compact, with a high x-height and relatively short ascenders, giving lines a tight, vertical rhythm. Several letters show stylized, asymmetric details—such as notched terminals and sharp interior angles—that make the alphabet read as a cohesive display face rather than a neutral text sans.
It works best in headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short display copy where the angular detailing can be appreciated. In text settings it creates a strong stylistic voice, making it suitable for titles, pull quotes, and signage rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is retro and decorative, evoking early 20th‑century poster lettering with a slightly mischievous, cartooned edge. Its crisp geometry and clipped curves create a confident, graphic presence, while the quirky joins and notches keep it feeling approachable and playful.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean sans structure through a geometric, chiseled lens—using uniform strokes and consistent chamfers to create an artful, decorative texture. Its goal is distinctive personality with clear letterforms, optimized for display impact.
Round forms (like O, Q, and 0) are rendered as faceted, near-octagonal shapes, and diagonals often terminate in beveled ends rather than flat cuts. The numerals and lowercase share the same angular logic, and the texture on a line of text is lively, with small idiosyncrasies that stand out at larger sizes.
