This typeface is built from straight, monoline strokes that meet in sharp vertices, replacing curves with faceted, polygonal joins. Counters and bowls often resolve into triangles and diamonds, creating a crisp, cut-from-planes look with frequent pointed terminals. Proportions lean tall and narrow in many letters, with a slightly uneven, hand-constructed rhythm that still maintains a consistent stroke weight and clear baseline alignment. The lowercase follows the same angular logic as the uppercase, with simplified, emblem-like forms and occasional wedge-like or hook-like endings that add texture to word shapes.
Best suited to display roles where its angular texture can be a feature: fantasy and sci‑fi titles, game branding and UI headings, album and event posters, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short bursts of copy (taglines, pull quotes) but is most effective when given space and scale to let the faceted forms read cleanly.
The overall tone feels rune-like and arcane, as if drawn from carved inscriptions or fantasy iconography, while also reading as techno-geometric due to its strict straight-line construction. It suggests mystery and ritual, with an energetic, slightly aggressive edge from the repeated points, wedges, and diamond motifs.
The design intent appears to be creating a coherent, inscription-like alphabet that feels carved and symbolic while remaining legible as a modern sans. By systematically substituting curves with planar facets and repeating diamond/triangle motifs, it aims for a strong thematic voice for imaginative, world-building contexts.
Diamond-shaped elements appear repeatedly (notably in forms like O and similar counters), helping unify the set into a recognizable system. The faceting creates distinctive silhouettes in display sizes, though the dense angularity can introduce visual noise in longer passages compared with smoother sans designs.
