A very light, extended oblique slab-serif with an almost monoline stroke and a clean, engineered rhythm. Serifs are flat and unbracketed, reading as small squared terminals that sharpen the ends of stems and diagonals. Curves are drawn with slightly squarish geometry—round letters like O/Q and bowls in b/p/d feel softly rectangular—while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are long and taut. Counters are open and generous, and the overall spacing reads airy, emphasizing the horizontal spread and forward slant.
Best suited for display sizes where the slim strokes and extended width can be appreciated—headlines, poster titling, logotypes, and sleek product or packaging graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or technical-style headings when set with comfortable size and contrast, but the delicate weight favors larger settings over dense text blocks.
The tone is modern and technical with a distinct retro-futurist edge, like streamlined lettering for instrumentation, sci‑fi titles, or late-20th-century tech branding. Its light touch and wide stance keep it elegant rather than aggressive, while the slab details add a subtle mechanical firmness.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with streamlined, geometric italics, producing a fast, contemporary silhouette that still nods to industrial lettering traditions. Its wide proportions and squared curves prioritize a distinctive, designed voice over neutrality.
Several glyphs show distinctive, stylized construction: the uppercase Q has a compact tail, numerals carry the same squared-curve language (notably the 2 and 3), and the 0 is an oval-rectangle that aligns with the font’s rounded-rect motif. The italics are integral to the design rather than a simple slant, with diagonals and terminals consistently tuned to the forward motion.
