A wide, airy sans with rounded bowls and open counters, shaped by tapered strokes and frequent wedge-like cuts at terminals and joins. The contrast is expressed more as flares and thinning into sharp points than as traditional thick–thin modulation, giving letters a carved, faceted feel. Curves are smooth and generous, while many straight strokes end in angled, knife-like finishes; diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize slender hairline intersections against thicker outer strokes. The lowercase follows a single-storey, geometric approach with compact apertures and flattened or scooped terminals that create a distinctive rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, packaging, and tech-forward branding where its wide stance and sculpted terminals can read as intentional design. It can work for short UI labels or section headers when a distinctive, futuristic voice is desired, while longer text benefits from generous spacing and moderate sizes to keep the finer tapers from visually disappearing.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered—clean and futuristic with a slightly dramatic, display-driven edge. The sharp wedge terminals add tension and speed, while the broad proportions and rounded forms keep it refined rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to blend geometric sans clarity with a signature, blade-cut terminal treatment—creating a contemporary display face that signals technology, luxury, and motion without relying on ornate detailing.
Several glyphs use stylized construction that prioritizes character over neutrality, especially where strokes pinch into fine points or terminate with diagonal cuts. Numerals echo the same language with curved forms and pointed, tapered ends, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive and intentional.
