A lean, geometric sans built from straight strokes and faceted, planar joins that replace most curves with angled segments. Strokes stay predominantly monoline, with occasional tapered or pointed terminals that create a chiseled, cut-metal feel. The proportions run condensed with tall capitals and compact lowercase, and the rhythm shows noticeable per-glyph width differences (for example, very slim I/l forms versus broader M/W). Counters are generally open and polygonal; round letters like O/Q read as elongated ovals with sharp transitions, and numerals follow the same angular construction for a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, poster typography, logotypes, packaging, and period-inspired signage where its faceted construction can be appreciated. It performs particularly well in short lines, titles, and branded phrases that benefit from a distinctive geometric texture rather than extended reading.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and retro-futurist, suggesting signage, architecture, and early modernist display lettering. Its faceted geometry reads cool, precise, and slightly theatrical—more “crafted” than neutral—giving text a stylized, period-evocative voice.
The design appears intended to translate Deco-era geometry into a clean, modern display sans by systematically substituting curves with crisp facets and keeping strokes light and linear. The result prioritizes character and silhouette over neutrality, aiming for an architectural, stylized presence across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In running text, the pointed terminals and angled joints create a sparkling, zig-zag texture that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes. The narrow build and sharp interior angles can make dense paragraphs feel busy, while short words and headings stay striking and clean.
