A compact, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and sharply faceted curves. Most rounds are rendered as clipped polygons with consistent chamfering, giving letters like O, C, G, and S a planar, cut-out feel. Strokes stay largely uniform, while terminals frequently end in angled cuts or wedge-like points; joints are crisp and corners are emphasized rather than softened. Proportions are condensed with relatively tight counters, and the lowercase maintains a compact, blocky rhythm with simplified forms and a short x-height.
This font is best suited to display applications where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and environmental/signage-style graphics. It works especially well for short phrases and titles that benefit from a distinctive, retro-architectural voice.
The overall tone feels retro-modern and architectural, evoking machine-age signage and Art Deco-era geometry. Its sharp facets and disciplined rhythm read as confident, engineered, and slightly dramatic, with a stylized personality that suggests crafted metal, stone, or inlaid lettering.
The design appears intended to translate a sans skeleton into a faceted, planar construction, replacing smooth curves with decisive chamfers and angular segments. The goal seems to be a cohesive display face that feels engineered and decorative while remaining legible through consistent stroke weight and simplified internal shapes.
The design relies on consistent corner treatment across the set, creating strong internal coherence when used in words. Numerals and uppercase share the same faceted construction, helping mixed-setting compositions stay visually unified. The tight apertures and angular details become more prominent as size increases, reinforcing its display orientation.
