This typeface presents a heavy, geometric sans construction with faceted curves and frequent diagonal “cut” terminals. Strokes are mostly uniform, but many joins and endings taper into sharp wedges, creating a subtly calligraphic, knife-cut rhythm rather than purely mechanical rounding. Counters are generally open and rounded-rectangular, with compact, sturdy proportions and a tight, consistent color in text. Several forms show distinctive angled notches and split-like junctions (notably in curves and diagonals), giving the alphabet a deliberately constructed, segmented feel.
It performs best in display contexts such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its angular detailing can be read clearly. It can also work for short UI labels or signage that benefits from a forceful, technical tone, but the dense weight and faceted cuts are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels modernist and assertive, with a slightly aggressive, engineered edge. The sharp terminals and faceted curves add tension and speed, suggesting technology, machinery, or sports styling rather than a soft, friendly voice.
The letterforms appear designed to combine a sans foundation with a distinctive cut-terminal motif, emphasizing impact and recognizability. The consistent diagonal carving across many glyphs suggests an intention to evoke precision and energy while keeping the overall structure straightforward and readable.
The design’s defining feature is its repeated use of diagonal cuts on terminals and at curve transitions, which creates a coherent motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals. In longer text, the strong weight and chiseled details produce a compact, high-impact texture best suited to short lines and prominent settings.
