A faceted italic serif with sharply chamfered terminals and corner-cut joins that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Strokes are largely straight and planar, with selective wedge-like serifs and crisp internal corners; curves are tightened into angled bowls and counters, especially in C, G, O/Q and the numerals. Proportions lean compact with a steady rhythm in text, while select letters show slightly extended horizontals and brisk entry/exit strokes that reinforce the forward slant. Numerals follow the same cut-corner construction, producing a cohesive, modular feel across the set.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where the chamfered construction can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when a technical, engineered texture is desired, and it is especially effective for packaging or event graphics that aim for a retro-instrumental or sporty tone.
The overall tone is precise and mechanical, suggesting drafting, instrumentation, and streamlined signage. Its italic motion and chiseled details add a sporty, retro-futurist flavor, balancing elegance with an industrial edge.
The font appears designed to merge classic serif conventions with a constructed, bevel-cut geometry, producing an italic display face that feels both traditional and machine-made. The repeated chamfers and consistent faceting suggest an intention to evoke engraved lettering or technical lettering while maintaining a refined serif structure.
The design language is highly consistent: corners are treated with repeated bevel cuts, and many terminals resolve into small, sharp serifs rather than rounded endings. In running text the angular counters and tight apertures give it a distinctive texture, so it reads as intentionally stylized rather than purely bookish.
