A heavy, monoline display sans built from straight segments and chamfered corners, replacing most curves with polygonal facets. Strokes are consistently thick with blunt terminals, producing compact, blocky silhouettes and a strong, even color on the page. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places but remain generally balanced, with a notably tall x-height that keeps lowercase forms prominent. Spacing appears moderately tight and the faceting introduces a subtle, irregular rhythm—especially where bowls and diagonals break into planar edges.
Best used for display settings where its chiseled angles can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, and packaging. It also works well for short labels and punchy UI or game title treatments, especially when a rugged, fabricated feel is desired. For longer reading, it performs most comfortably at larger sizes where the faceting doesn’t crowd the counters.
The faceted construction gives the font a rugged, utilitarian tone with a hint of playful eccentricity. It reads as bold and assertive, evoking cut-metal, carved, or stamped lettering rather than smooth contemporary minimalism. The overall impression is energetic and attention-grabbing, suited to headlines that want a tough, graphic edge.
This design appears intended to translate a sturdy sans framework into a sharply planar, carved aesthetic, prioritizing graphic impact over smooth curvature. The consistent stroke weight and repeated chamfer motifs suggest an aim for bold, modular letterforms that remain legible while projecting a distinctive, cut-edge personality.
Curved letters resolve into multi-sided outlines, creating distinctive inner counters and a slightly chiseled texture at text sizes. Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular logic, so mixed-case setting stays cohesive and consistently “shaped” by the same set of facets.
