A compact, all-caps-forward display face built from hard planar facets that substitute for curves. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with frequent chamfered corners, clipped terminals, and polygonal counters (notably in O, Q, and numerals). The proportions feel condensed and vertical, with a steady rhythm and tight interior spaces that emphasize solid mass. Lowercase forms echo the same angular construction, with simplified bowls and sharp joins that keep the texture consistent in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the faceted construction can read as a deliberate stylistic statement. It works well for logos, packaging, labels, and short callouts that benefit from a compact, high-impact texture, and it can add a rugged industrial flavor to titles and display copy.
The overall tone is tough and architectural, suggesting forged metal, stenciled signage, or tactical labeling. Its sharp geometry and dense color create an assertive, no-nonsense voice with a slightly retro, blackletter-adjacent bite—more industrial than ornamental.
The design appears intended to translate a chiseled, cut-from-sheet material aesthetic into a clean, repeatable typographic system. By minimizing curvature and leaning on chamfers and polygonal counters, it aims to deliver strong presence and instant recognizability in display applications.
At smaller sizes the faceting and tight apertures can merge, while at larger sizes the distinctive polygonal cuts become a defining graphic feature. Rounded letters are intentionally squared off, and diagonals are handled with short, crisp segments rather than smooth curves.
