This typeface uses sharp, planar facets to build forms that would normally be curved, producing octagonal rounds and hard transitions throughout. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cut-ins that create a carved, polygonal rhythm. Counters stay open despite the weight, and the uppercase is wide and sturdy while the lowercase is compact with distinct, simplified constructions (notably single-storey a and g). Figures follow the same faceted logic, with angular bowls and sturdy, sign-like silhouettes.
Best suited to display work where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging titles, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a strong, angular voice is desired, but its hard geometry is most effective in larger sizes.
The overall tone feels mechanical and no-nonsense, with a rugged, fabricated character that reads as engineered rather than handwritten. Its faceting adds a retro display flavor—suggestive of stamped metal, arcade or sci‑fi titling—while the weight and edges keep it forceful and direct.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans skeleton into a faceted, chiseled vocabulary, replacing smooth curves with planar cuts for a distinctive, high-impact texture. It prioritizes a consistent polygonal system across letters and numerals to deliver a sturdy, manufactured look.
The faceted rounding is consistent across O/C/G/Q and the numerals, which helps the font maintain a cohesive texture in all-caps and mixed-case settings. Sharp joins in letters like M, N, W, and V emphasize a zig-zag cadence, and the short, squared curves keep word shapes dense and punchy at display sizes.
