A sharply angular, faceted sans with an overall forward slant and a distinctly planar construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments with beveled corners, producing polygonal bowls and abrupt terminals. Strokes taper subtly through angled joins rather than smooth modulation, creating a crisp, cut-out feel; diagonals are frequent and the rhythm is lively, with slightly uneven sidebearings that enhance a hand-cut, variable-width impression. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and apertures open sharply, emphasizing the jagged geometry across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display settings where its faceted geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title cards, branding marks, and short punchy statements. It works especially well in contexts that benefit from an edgy, technical aesthetic, but the tight polygonal counters and jagged joins suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The letterforms suggest a techno-industrial tone—restless, sharp, and assertive—like signage cut from metal or crystal facets. Its forward lean and clipped angles add speed and tension, giving the font a bold, graphic presence suited to high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to translate an italic sans skeleton into a faceted, cut-surface style, prioritizing angular character and graphic punch over smooth readability. The consistent beveled construction across letters and numerals points to a deliberate, systematized approach for strong visual identity.
Uppercase forms read as compact and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes that reinforce the rugged, constructed look. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular turns and hard corners that keep the set visually consistent.
