This sans has a broad, extended footprint with generous horizontal spacing and a compact vertical feel. Strokes are generally robust with subtle modulation, especially where curved strokes transition into straighter segments, giving bowls and terminals a slightly “machined” finish. Curves are rounded but often squared-off in their geometry, producing D- and O-shapes that read as soft rectangles rather than perfect circles. Counters are open and clear, and joins stay crisp; diagonal forms (like V, W, X, Y) are clean and stable, while characters such as G and Q show distinctive, graphic cut-ins that add personality without becoming decorative.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting lengths where its width and strong graphic rhythm can be an asset—headlines, display typography, brand wordmarks, product identities, and packaging. It also works well for tech UI headlines, esports/sports titling, and signage-style applications where clean shapes and quick recognition matter.
The overall tone is modern and forward-leaning, with a streamlined, engineered character that feels at home in technology and performance-oriented contexts. Its wide stance and smooth, controlled curves project confidence and clarity, leaning toward a contemporary, slightly sci-fi flavor rather than a neutral grotesk.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display sans that combines geometric clarity with a slightly stylized, engineered warmth. Its distinctive squared-rounded curves and confident width aim to create a recognizable voice for modern brands while remaining legible and orderly in use.
The lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey construction in key letters, reinforcing a contemporary, geometric voice. Numerals are bold and highly legible at a glance, with rounded geometry that matches the letterforms and keeps the texture even in running text.
