A narrow, monoline display sans built from crisp, faceted strokes that substitute angled segments for smooth curves. Vertical stems dominate, with occasional chamfered corners and pointed joins that create a prismatic, planar feel in bowls and diagonals. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal, and terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the texture even and airy across lines. Figures follow the same angular logic, with sharp corners and simplified construction that reads consistently beside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and branding where its faceted geometry can be appreciated at medium-to-large sizes. It also works well for packaging, signage, and short UI labels that benefit from a narrow footprint, provided spacing and size preserve the small polygonal counters.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and architectural—sleek, stylized, and slightly futuristic in a retro way. Its sharp geometry and tightened proportions give it a precise, engineered personality that can also read as playful when set in pangrams or short phrases.
The design appears intended to translate a Deco-inspired, gem-cut geometry into a clean monoline sans, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and consistent angular logic over conventional roundness. It aims for a recognizable display voice that feels structured, modernist, and decorative without adding serifs or ornate stroke modulation.
In text settings, the condensed rhythm produces strong vertical cadence, while the faceting adds sparkle at larger sizes. The distinctive angular treatment of round letters and the pointed joins make it most recognizable when given room to breathe, where the polygonal counters remain clear.
