This typeface uses heavy, block-like strokes with sharply cut, planar facets that replace most curves. Corners are consistently beveled and notched, producing polygonal counters and wedge-shaped terminals across both uppercase and lowercase. The overall construction feels geometric but intentionally irregular in its edge cuts, creating a lively, carved silhouette rather than a smooth, mechanical finish. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong diagonals and angular bowls that keep the set visually cohesive at display sizes.
Well suited to posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and punchy signage where its angular silhouette can be appreciated. It performs especially well in short display lines and brand marks that benefit from a hard-edged, industrial voice.
The faceted, cut-metal look conveys a tough, assertive tone with a hint of retro signage and handcrafted stencil energy. Its sharp rhythm and dense texture feel bold and attention-seeking, suited to designs that want to project strength and grit rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to translate a chiseled, faceted aesthetic into a compact display sans, prioritizing impactful silhouettes and consistent beveled cuts over smooth curves and fine detail. The goal seems to be a distinctive, rugged voice that remains legible while looking deliberately carved and angular.
In running text the repeated bevels and narrow openings create a busy texture, so the face reads best when given room to breathe (larger sizes, shorter phrases, or increased spacing). Round letters like C, O, and S become distinctly polygonal, which is a defining characteristic and drives the font’s personality.
