A sharply angular, faceted sans with a monoline feel and conspicuous straight-line construction in place of true curves. Rounds are rendered as narrow, chamfered rectangles and clipped corners, producing a segmented outline across O/C/G and numerals. Proportions are strongly condensed with tall ascenders and tight sidebearings, while stroke endings are clean and flat with occasional angled joins that emphasize the planar geometry. The overall rhythm is vertical and linear, with slightly irregular widths across characters that keeps the texture from becoming purely mechanical.
Well suited to display typography such as posters, headings, logotypes, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage where a tall, condensed voice is useful. It can also add a technical, architectural accent in short UI labels or infographics when set with adequate size and spacing.
The font projects a sleek, engineered tone with a hint of Deco-era display flair. Its faceted geometry reads as modernist and architectural, suggesting precision and constructed forms rather than handwriting or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a condensed sans into a faceted, planar system, replacing curves with straight segments and chamfers to create a distinctive constructed look. It prioritizes a strong vertical silhouette and stylistic cohesion across letters and figures for impactful display use.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the corner cuts and segmented bowls remain distinct; at smaller sizes, the narrow counters and chamfered forms can visually close up. Numerals echo the same rectilinear, clipped construction (notably the octagonal-style 0/8/9), helping headings and data feel stylistically unified.
