A highly extended, high-contrast sans with squared, rounded-corner counters and a sleek, engineered rhythm. Strokes often transition from very thin hairlines to heavy verticals, with many terminals finishing in flat, horizontal cuts that read like speedlines. Curves are flattened into rectilinear arcs, giving bowls and rounds a boxy-oval feel, while diagonals are sharp and clean. The overall silhouette is wide and low with generous horizontal emphasis and a consistent, modular construction across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a futuristic or technical voice is desired. It can be effective for gaming and entertainment titling, product branding, and editorial display moments that benefit from strong horizontal presence and graphic contrast. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the hairlines and tight internal shapes remain clear.
The font conveys a sci-fi, high-tech tone with a streamlined, aerodynamic feel. Its crisp geometry and dramatic contrast suggest precision and modernity, while the flattened curves and extended proportions add a distinctly retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of display lettering for technology and entertainment.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with a stylized, aerodynamic construction—emphasizing width, contrast, and squared curves to create a distinctive techno display voice. Its consistent geometric rules suggest it was drawn to look systematic and modern rather than humanist or calligraphic.
Uppercase forms are especially architectural, with prominent vertical stems and thin connecting strokes. Lowercase maintains the same squared-curved logic and includes distinctive, simplified shapes (notably in angular letters and the figures), which increases personality but makes it feel more display-oriented than neutral. The numerals echo the same boxy rounding and contrast, supporting cohesive headline setting.
