A compact, heavy sans with sharply faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are mostly uniform and terminate in crisp angled cuts, creating a chiseled, planar silhouette across rounds and joints. Counters are tight and often polygonal, with squared-off bowls and clipped corners that emphasize a rigid, engineered rhythm. Capitals are tall and assertive, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with simple forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited for headlines and short display lines where its faceted geometry can carry personality—posters, signage, album or event graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work on packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, industrial flavor, especially when set with generous tracking and strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with an aggressive edge created by the repeated bevels and sharp corners. It reads as mechanical and slightly retro, evoking signage, stamped lettering, or cut-metal forms rather than friendly contemporary text.
Likely designed as a display sans that replaces curves with planar facets to deliver a cut, chiseled look while staying clean and readable. The intention appears to be strong impact and a distinctive angular texture rather than quiet, long-form text neutrality.
The faceting is applied consistently to both letters and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, constructed feel. The dense interior spaces and compact proportions make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the angular details remain distinct.
