This typeface uses sharp, planar facets to suggest curves, producing octagonal bowls and pointed terminals throughout. Strokes are monolinear with crisp joins and consistent angles, and the overall build is compact with a forward slant. Letterforms feel slightly irregular in width and construction, reinforcing a drawn, cut-paper rhythm rather than a mechanically uniform one; counters are small and angular, and diagonals dominate the silhouettes.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, album or event graphics, and branding moments that benefit from a sharp, geometric personality. It can work for short bursts of text in UI or game/tech-themed materials where an angular texture is desirable, but the small, faceted counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is edgy and kinetic, with a graphic, game-like energy that reads as modern and slightly mischievous. Its faceted geometry evokes carved signage and low‑poly aesthetics, giving it a distinctive, non-neutral voice suited to attention-grabbing short reads.
The design intention appears to translate a sans structure into a faceted, polygonal system, replacing curves with cut angles while maintaining recognizable letter skeletons. The slight irregularity and forward motion suggest a deliberate blend of geometric styling with a hand-cut, expressive finish aimed at distinctive display impact.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case setting. Numerals and letters follow the same faceted logic, with sharp corners and tight apertures that create a dark, lively pattern in text. Spacing appears moderately open for the narrow forms, helping the angled strokes remain legible despite the jagged outlines.
