An extended, display-oriented sans with squared bowls and rounded corners, combining smooth curves with flat-sided geometry. Strokes show clear modulation: verticals tend to read heavier while horizontals and connecting curves thin out, creating a crisp, contrasted rhythm. Many joins and inner corners show small scooped notches that feel like ink-traps, and terminals are generally softened rather than sharply cut. Counters are open and airy, and the overall spacing and proportions emphasize breadth and a steady, upright stance.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its width, contrast, and distinctive joins can be appreciated. It works well for branding, posters, packaging, and signage—especially for themes that want a retro-tech or futuristic feel. For body copy, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where the thin connections and corner notches remain clear.
The tone is retro-futuristic and tech-forward, with a slightly playful, engineered personality. Its softened corners and notched joins keep it from feeling cold, adding a quirky, mid-century sci‑fi and signage flavor. The contrast and width give it a confident, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to merge a modular, rounded-rect skeleton with contrasted stroke behavior, creating a futuristic display sans that feels both engineered and approachable. The recurring notched joins suggest a deliberate strategy to improve clarity at tight corners while also serving as a signature stylistic motif.
Several letters lean on rounded-rectangle construction (notably O/Q and related bowls), while others introduce distinctive curved arms and tails (such as the S and some lowercase terminals), adding character without breaking consistency. Numerals follow the same wide, rounded-rect framework, keeping the set visually unified.
