This typeface uses a geometric, squared construction with largely monoline strokes and sharp, chamfered corners. Serifs appear as small wedge-like terminals that read more as carved notches than traditional bracketed forms, giving many letters an inset, cut-out feel. Counters tend toward rectangular and octagonal shapes, and several curves are resolved into angled segments rather than smooth arcs. Proportions are compact and orderly, with a rigid baseline and consistent stroke behavior that emphasizes straight horizontals and verticals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, title cards, and branding where a geometric, angular voice is desired. It can also work for UI labels in game or tech contexts when used at sizes large enough to preserve the notched details. For longer passages, it’s more effective as an accent face than a primary text font.
The overall tone feels engineered and stylized—part retro-digital, part engraved. Its angular terminals and faceted counters suggest a synthetic, game-like aesthetic with a slightly archaic, rune-inspired edge. The result is distinctive and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or bookish.
The letterforms appear designed to translate classic serif cues into a highly geometric system, prioritizing sharp silhouettes and repeating modular angles. It aims to deliver a distinctive, themed look—suggesting futuristic or arcade-inspired styling—while maintaining a consistent, structured rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
The design relies on repeated corner motifs (chamfers, notches, and squared bowls) across both uppercase and lowercase, which helps unify the set. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing crisp silhouettes that read well at display sizes where the cut details can be appreciated.
