This typeface is built from crisp, straight strokes and polygonal joins, replacing most curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with sharp terminals and a slightly hand-cut rhythm created by angled corners and asymmetric cuts. Proportions are open and fairly compact in the lowercase, while the capitals read cleanly with simplified, geometric construction. Round letters like O, C, and G appear as multi-sided forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) have a taut, precise feel that keeps the texture airy and uncluttered.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks where its faceted construction can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks of text in editorial or UI accents when a sharp, geometric voice is desired, but it’s strongest when used for emphasis rather than dense reading.
The overall tone feels architectural and modern, with a subtle archaic or rune-like flavor due to its chiseled geometry and pointed details. It suggests precision and structure while still feeling distinctive and slightly mysterious rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate geometric sans structure into a faceted, carved aesthetic—maintaining clarity while introducing angular planes and sharp terminals. It aims to provide a distinctive display voice that feels engineered and emblematic without relying on ornament or contrast.
The font’s faceting creates a lively sparkle at larger sizes, where the angled corners and cut-ins become part of the personality. In text, the angular shapes remain legible, but the distinctive corner logic is most apparent in capitals and round forms, giving headlines a marked, emblematic presence.
