A geometric, monoline sans with notably expanded proportions and generous horizontal spacing. Curves are drawn from broad, clean arcs with rounded terminals, while straight strokes stay even in thickness, producing a calm, low-modulation texture. Counters are wide and open, and many forms emphasize circular construction (notably in C, O, Q, and the rounded bowls in lowercase). The uppercase has a broad stance with simplified joins; the lowercase is similarly wide with single-storey a and g, a round t crossbar, and short, unobtrusive ascenders and descenders that keep lines feeling airy. Numerals are similarly wide and smoothly contoured, with an oval 0 and open, flowing shapes for 2, 3, and 5.
Well-suited to headlines, large-format signage, and branding systems that want a wide, contemporary footprint. It can also work for UI labels and dashboards where open shapes and clean strokes help maintain clarity, especially at medium-to-large sizes. For body text, it’s best when ample measure and spacing are available to accommodate the expanded rhythm.
The overall tone is crisp and contemporary, with a slightly futuristic, engineered feel driven by the extended width and clean geometry. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than stark, maintaining a neutral voice that reads as modern and orderly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans with a broad, extended silhouette and highly consistent stroke behavior. Its construction prioritizes clean curves, open counters, and an even typographic color to create a clear, contemporary voice for display and system-oriented applications.
At larger sizes the expanded widths and generous counters create a strong billboard-like presence, while in paragraphs the wide rhythm noticeably increases line length and can make text feel spacious. The design’s consistency across curves and straight segments gives it a uniform, system-like regularity.
