This typeface is built from sharp, planar strokes that turn curves into crisp facets, creating a chiseled silhouette across rounds like O/C/G and bowls in B/P/R. Stems are straight and compact, with frequent triangular joins and pointed terminals that give letters a carved, blade-like finish. Counters are generally tight and rectangularized, and diagonals (K, V, W, Y) feel steep and structural rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is compact with a notably low x-height, while ascenders and capitals rise tall, producing a top-heavy vertical rhythm suited to display settings.
Best suited for large-size headlines, posters, and punchy branding where its angular facets and condensed stance can read clearly and create a distinct personality. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefit from a stylized, architectural voice, but will be less comfortable for long text due to the tight counters and emphatic shapes.
The overall tone reads as retro-industrial and architectural, with strong Art Deco cues from the narrow proportions and faceted curvature. It feels assertive and cinematic, evoking signage, title cards, and stylized branding where impact and character matter more than softness or neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to translate geometric construction into a sharp, faceted display style that stays legible while feeling decorative. The emphasis is on strong silhouettes, compact spacing, and an engraved aesthetic that differentiates titles and marks from everyday sans typography.
The design mixes monoline-like straight segments with selectively thickened joins, so texture varies slightly from glyph to glyph in a purposeful, handmade-cut way. Numerals follow the same squared, angular logic, reinforcing a unified, mechanical look across alphanumerics.
