A monoline, sharply faceted sans built from straight strokes and pointed corners, with curves consistently replaced by planar angles and diamond-like counters. Stems are thin and crisp, terminals are typically blunt or sharply cut, and many glyphs lean on triangular bowls, notched joints, and asymmetric construction. Proportions are compact with a relatively low x-height, and spacing feels open and airy due to the light stroke and narrow letterforms. The overall rhythm is jagged and geometric, with distinctive, rune-like silhouettes that remain consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, packaging accents, and sci‑fi or fantasy-themed interfaces. It works well for logos and short phrases that benefit from a coded, symbolic flavor, while longer passages are more effective at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The font projects a futuristic, coded tone—part sci‑fi interface, part carved-symbol lettering. Its angular geometry and sparse strokes create an austere, mysterious voice that reads as cryptic and technical rather than friendly or conversational.
The design intention appears to be a constructed, symbol-forward alphabet that substitutes curves with sharp facets to evoke a futuristic or runic script. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and visual texture over conventional text clarity, aiming for a stylized, thematic voice.
Several characters use unconventional, highly stylized shapes (especially curved letters rendered as wedges or diamonds), which increases personality but reduces conventional readability at small sizes. The sample text shows a consistent angular system across punctuation-like forms and numerals, reinforcing a coherent constructed aesthetic.
