A condensed, all-angular sans with sharp planar facets replacing curves throughout. Stems are straight and clean, with clipped corners and chamfered terminals that create an octagonal, engraved-like silhouette in bowls and diagonals. The uppercase set is tall and compact with narrow counters; the lowercase follows the same geometry with a single-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed-shoulder n/m, and a compact, squared-off feel overall. Numerals and punctuation carry the same cut-corner logic, producing a consistent, rhythmic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where the angular construction can read as a deliberate stylistic cue. It can also work for short UI labels or technical-themed graphics when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to keep the faceted counters clear.
The faceted geometry and tight proportions give the font a precise, engineered tone with a strong retro-futurist and Art Deco flavor. Its sharp edges read as disciplined and utilitarian, leaning toward signage and display aesthetics rather than soft, conversational typography.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric, cut-metal/stone sensibility into a compact sans, prioritizing sharp corner work and consistent faceting over smooth curvature. The goal seems to be a distinctive display voice that remains systematic enough for setting short passages without losing structural coherence.
The design relies on repeated chamfers and straight segments, so word shapes feel crisp and segmented, especially in rounded letters like C, O, Q, and S. Apertures stay relatively closed and counters small, which increases graphic presence and makes the type look dense and patterned in longer lines.
