A wide, geometric sans with monoline strokes and generously open counters. Curves are built from clean arcs that often terminate in squared, softly rounded ends, giving bowls and shoulders a segmented, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with round letters like O and Q reading as wide ovals; the Q uses a short diagonal tail. The lowercase is similarly extended, with a single-storey a, a looped g, and a compact, straight-armed r; terminals stay mostly flat and squared. Figures are equally wide and graphic, with a slashed zero and a simple, angular 1.
Best suited to display sizes where the wide stance and distinctive terminals can read clearly—headlines, posters, and short branding phrases. It can also work for signage and UI or product labeling when you want a modern, engineered voice, though the extended width will affect line length in longer text.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical, with a slightly sci‑fi flavor driven by wide proportions, squared terminals, and modular curves. It feels confident and streamlined rather than expressive, suggesting modern interfaces, machinery, or performance branding.
Likely designed to offer a sleek, modern extended sans that balances geometric clarity with a distinctive squared-terminal signature, creating a recognizable voice for contemporary display typography.
Rhythm is horizontal and spacious, so words form long, even bands of black with consistent stroke color. The squared-off curve endings create a subtle quasi-stencil impression in letters like C, S, and G, adding character without becoming decorative.
