A rounded geometric sans with predominantly monoline strokes and smooth, circular construction. Uppercase forms are broad and open, with generously rounded bowls (B, D, O, P) and a wide, elliptical rhythm that carries through the numerals. Terminals tend to be softly finished rather than sharply cut, and several glyphs show subtle stylized joins and sheared-looking stroke ends that add character without becoming decorative. The lowercase is similarly rounded with open counters and high apertures, giving the text a light, airy texture; the overall spacing feels roomy and consistent, supporting legibility at display and medium text sizes.
Well suited to headlines, logos, and brand systems that want a clean, modern presence with a touch of retro tech character. It can also work for UI/display typography, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes where its wide, rounded forms can be given room to breathe. For longer text, it will perform best at larger sizes with comfortable line spacing.
The tone reads modern and slightly sci‑fi, with a retro-futurist smoothness reminiscent of late-20th-century techno and consumer-electronics styling. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable and friendly, while the wide silhouettes and streamlined curves contribute a sleek, contemporary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined geometric sans that feels contemporary yet distinctive, using rounded construction and subtly stylized terminals to create a recognizable display voice without sacrificing clarity.
Distinctive shapes like the rounded, open-tail Q, the broad S curves, and the fluid lowercase forms give the face a recognizable voice in headings. Numerals follow the same elliptical logic and appear designed to blend smoothly with the letters, helping maintain a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
