A sharply angular display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets and pointed joins. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, producing a crisp, linear texture with strong vertical emphasis. Bowls and counters are narrow and polygonal (notably in O/0 and D), and terminals often end in chisel-like points or beveled cuts. The condensed proportions and tight interior spaces create a tall, compact rhythm, while the set remains clean and sans-like in its overall construction.
Best suited to short text where its angular detailing can read clearly—headlines, posters, title sequences, album/cover art, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and signage where a sharp, stylized voice is desired, but the tight counters and condensed build make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The faceted geometry evokes blackletter and inscriptional cues without adopting full calligraphic contrast, giving the font a medieval-meets-modern attitude. Its pointed joins and narrow stance feel assertive and slightly ominous, suitable for dramatic or stylized contexts. The overall tone reads as precise and engineered, with a retro poster sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive faceted aesthetic that bridges gothic/blackletter influence with clean sans construction. By enforcing straight segments, beveled corners, and consistent stroke weight, it aims for a cohesive, high-impact display texture with a strong vertical presence.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, with prominent peaked apexes and diamond-like inner angles, while the lowercase keeps the same straight-edged logic and compact counters. Numerals follow the same polygonal language, with angular turns and minimal rounding, supporting a consistent, emblematic look across alphanumerics.
