A monoline, slanted sans with very open, horizontally stretched proportions and a soft-cornered geometric construction. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, with squarish bowls in letters like O, D, and P and gently flattened arcs in C and S. Stroke endings are clean and largely unmodulated, with occasional tapered terminals and sharp, angular joins in diagonals (notably in V, W, X, Y, and K). Counters are generous and the overall spacing feels loose, giving the face a light, airy texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where its wide stance and crisp geometry can be appreciated—UI or product headings, tech and industrial branding, motion titles, and contemporary posters. It can also work for short navigational labels and wayfinding-style signage, especially at larger sizes where the open counters and clean strokes stay clear.
The combination of wide, streamlined shapes and rounded-rectilinear curves conveys a futuristic, engineered tone. It feels modern and utilitarian rather than expressive, with a subtle sci‑fi flavor reminiscent of interface lettering and transportation graphics.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with a consistent slanted rhythm, producing a modern sans that reads as both soft-edged and technical. Its exaggerated width and superelliptical curves suggest an emphasis on distinctive silhouette and a forward-looking, interface-friendly voice.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls make round characters read slightly squared, which helps maintain a consistent rhythm across mixed case and numerals. The italic slant is steady and mechanical, and the numerals echo the same rounded-corner geometry for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
