A very extended geometric sans with clean, monoline strokes and broadly rounded curves. The letterforms show generous horizontal proportions, open apertures, and a calm, even rhythm with minimal contrast. Terminals tend to be clean and straightforward, and rounded characters (C, O, Q, G, e) read as smooth ellipses, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and lightly built. The overall spacing feels roomy, helping the wide shapes remain legible in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and short display copy where the extended width can create a premium, spacious look. It can also work for UI titles, wayfinding, and packaging where clarity and a modern tone are priorities, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a sleek, contemporary tone with a distinctly futuristic, technical calm. Its wide stance and smooth geometry feel modern and engineered rather than expressive, giving text an airy, minimalist presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary geometric voice with a wide, panoramic footprint. It prioritizes smooth curves, simplified construction, and an even rhythm to create a modern display sans that stays clear and controlled in text samples.
Distinctive silhouettes come from the extended proportions and the rounded, simplified construction of bowls and counters. Numerals follow the same streamlined approach, with smooth curves and a consistent stroke that keeps the set visually unified.
