A condensed, angular display face with straight stems, tight internal counters, and frequent chamfered or clipped terminals that create a beveled, almost cut-metal silhouette. Curves are simplified into faceted arcs (notably in C, G, O, and S), while diagonals are crisp and narrow, giving the alphabet a taut, upright rhythm. Stroke endings often taper into short wedges or notches, producing a lightly stencil-like texture without fully breaking forms. Lowercase echoes the same geometry, with compact bowls and a modest, even x-height relative to tall ascenders.
This design is best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and logotype work where its faceted corners and narrow stance can carry a strong graphic voice. It can also work for labels and packaging that want a retro-machined or hand-fabricated feel, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and slightly eccentric—like hand-cut lettering for signage or packaging—balancing mechanical precision with small, human irregularities. Its sharp facets and clipped corners read as purposeful and energetic, giving headlines a bold, engineered personality without feeling overly formal.
The letterforms appear intended to mimic hand-drawn or hand-cut print lettering with a controlled, engineered edge—using chamfers and wedge-like terminals to suggest carving, stamping, or metal-cut construction while maintaining consistent rhythm across the set.
The font’s distinctive identity comes from its consistent corner treatments and occasional incised details at terminals, which create visual sparkle at larger sizes. Counters can become tight in letters like a, e, and s, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity in continuous text.
