A stylized sans with broad proportions and pronounced stroke modulation, mixing thick horizontal emphasis with finer joins and diagonals. Curves are drawn as flattened ovals with crisp, tapered terminals, while many letters use sharp, triangular cuts (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) that create a faceted rhythm. The lowercase is compact and rounded with single-storey forms, a single-storey g, and a distinctive f featuring a long crossbar. Numerals echo the same oval-and-wedge logic, with open, streamlined shapes and angled endings.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where its sculpted contrast and wide stance can be appreciated—such as branding, logotypes, posters, packaging, and editorial display. It can work for interface or signage accents when used large, but its distinctive terminals and modulation make it more of a characterful display choice than a text workhorse.
The overall tone feels futuristic and display-forward, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of late-20th-century sci‑fi branding and industrial graphics. The contrast and flared terminals add drama and motion, giving lines of text a sleek, engineered personality rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric sans foundations with expressive, flared terminals and high-contrast detailing to create a sleek, forward-looking voice. Its consistent oval geometry and angular cuts suggest an aim toward striking wordmarks and attention-grabbing titles with a controlled, engineered aesthetic.
Several glyphs incorporate intentional asymmetries and extended bars (for example E, F, and f) that increase horizontal momentum. The Q stands out with a bold internal diagonal stroke, reinforcing the font’s graphic, logo-like character. Word shapes in the sample text read as smooth and continuous, with rounded counters balancing the sharper, wedge-like terminals.
