This typeface is built from thin, consistent strokes with crisp corners and faceted joins that substitute for curves. Round letters resolve into straight segments—seen in C, G, O, and S—while verticals dominate and horizontals are kept simple and flat, producing a taut, compressed rhythm. Many forms use pointed or chamfered terminals (notably A, M, N, V, W, and Y), and counters are narrow and upright. Numerals follow the same planar construction, with polygonal bowls and sharp bends that keep the overall color even and airy.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, logos, and short branding phrases where its angular construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for signage or packaging accents that aim for a retro-futurist or architectural mood, but its tight proportions and stylized curves make it less ideal for long reading text.
The faceted geometry gives the font a sleek, architectural character with a distinct Art Deco and early-industrial flavor. Its thin, wire-like presence feels technical and stylized rather than conversational, suggesting signage, title lettering, and display settings where a sharp, crafted tone is desired.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through planar facets, turning traditionally curved structures into crisp, straight segments for a distinctive, built-from-lines look. The goal is a cohesive, decorative system that feels precise and period-referential while remaining clean and minimal in stroke contrast.
Stroke endings are generally blunt with occasional angled cuts, and many glyphs emphasize symmetry and centered structure. The narrow proportions and angular segmentation create strong vertical momentum, while the simplified shapes maintain consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
