A sharply angular display sans built from straight strokes and planar corners, with consistent monoline weight and no curves. Forms lean on triangular counters, diamond-shaped bowls, and wedge-like terminals, creating a faceted silhouette throughout. Proportions vary notably from glyph to glyph, with compact, pointed shapes alongside wider constructions, producing a lively, irregular rhythm while maintaining a coherent geometric system. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic as the uppercase, with simplified stems and angled joins, and the numerals echo the same polygonal, cut-stone vocabulary.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, and identity accents where its angular construction can carry the visual voice. It also fits themed applications like game titles, fantasy or sci‑fi packaging, and interface or signage moments that benefit from a coded, symbolic feel; for longer passages, larger sizes and added letterspacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels cryptic and coded—part rune-like inscription, part sci‑fi interface. Its sharp facets and sparse stroke economy give it a cold, technical edge, while the unconventional letterforms add an arcane, puzzle-like character.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, symbol-like aesthetic into a functional Latin set—prioritizing a consistent straight-line construction and distinctive silhouettes over conventional readability. It aims to evoke inscriptional and futuristic cues through pointed terminals, triangular counters, and diamond motifs while staying clean and unornamented.
Spacing and counters are intentionally unconventional, with many glyphs defined by open angles and triangular apertures rather than enclosed bowls. The design reads best when given generous tracking and size, where the distinctive geometry can be parsed without crowding.
