A sharply faceted display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar chamfers that create an octagonal, cut-metal look. Strokes stay largely uniform, while interior notches and angled terminals add crisp edge definition and a rhythmic, stenciled-like texture without actual breaks. Uppercase forms are tall and compact with squared counters, and the lowercase follows a simplified, constructed logic with a noticeably small x-height and minimal roundness. Numerals and capitals share the same engineered geometry, producing a consistent, modular silhouette across the set.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and branding where the faceted geometry can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for posters, labels, packaging, and signage that aim for an industrial or retro-tech voice, and it can add a distinctive edge to wordmarks and badges.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with echoes of carved signage and machine-cut lettering. Its angular construction reads assertive and technical, giving text a hard-edged, engineered personality that can lean retro or militaristic depending on context.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, chamfered construction into a bold, display-forward alphabet that feels machined rather than drawn. By systematically flattening curves into angled facets, it prioritizes a crisp, engineered silhouette and strong graphic presence over conventional text readability.
At text sizes the frequent corner cuts and interior angles create a busy sparkle, so the design tends to read best when given space and scale. The faceting is applied consistently enough to maintain cohesion, but the dense black shapes can visually close in on tight settings, making careful tracking and line spacing beneficial.
