This typeface is built from straight strokes and sharp planar corners, replacing curves with polygonal facets. Strokes are consistently even, with slightly irregular angles that give the outlines a hand-cut, constructed feel rather than a perfectly mechanical one. Proportions run on the broader side, and the overall rhythm shows noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation that keeps words lively. Counters tend to be angular and open, terminals are blunt, and diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) create a strong zig-zag texture across lines of text.
Best used where strong personality and shape language matter: headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and titling for entertainment or tech-themed projects. It can work for short paragraphs or UI labels when set generously, but it is most effective at medium to large sizes where the faceting and angular counters are clearly legible.
The faceted construction conveys a bold, game-like energy with an industrial edge—part retro display, part low-poly tech. Its sharp geometry reads as assertive and attention-grabbing, while the slight wonkiness in angles adds a playful, handmade character. Overall it feels suited to stylized, imaginative contexts rather than neutral corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, constructed look by translating a sans-serif skeleton into a straight-edged, faceted system. By emphasizing diagonals and polygonal counters, it aims to create a memorable display voice that feels modern and stylized while retaining familiar letterforms.
In the sample text, the all-caps and mixed-case maintain a consistent angular voice, with distinctive polygonal bowls in letters like O, Q, and D and a simplified, blocky treatment of numerals. The design’s straight-edged joins create a strong, jagged texture in paragraphs, so spacing and line length will noticeably influence readability at smaller sizes.
