A rounded, wide-proportioned sans with pronounced modulation: verticals and curves carry more weight while horizontals often thin out, creating a crisp, contrasted rhythm. Corners are softened throughout, and many terminals finish with subtle outward flares or fin-like tapers that give strokes a sculpted, almost engraved feel. Counters are generously open and largely oval/rectangular-rounded, with smooth bowls and a calm baseline rhythm. The lowercase shows simplified, modern constructions (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same wide, rounded geometry with clean, open forms.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, branding, and logo work where its wide stance and sculpted contrast can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, entertainment titling, and tech/culture editorial layouts that benefit from a distinctive, futuristic voice.
The overall tone reads as retro-futuristic and display-forward—sleek and technical, yet friendly due to the rounded shaping. The flared terminals and contrast add a crafted, slightly theatrical character that evokes sci‑fi titling and late-20th-century tech aesthetics.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary sans framework with a distinctive, stylized twist—using width, contrast, and flared terminals to create a memorable display texture without relying on traditional serifs. Its consistent rounded geometry suggests an intention to feel modern and approachable while still signaling a designed, premium personality.
The design leans on repeated motifs—rounded rectangles, softened joins, and tapered stroke endings—which keeps the alphabet cohesive even as widths vary by letter. Large apertures and clear interior shapes help the font stay legible at headline sizes, while the thin horizontals and decorative terminal shaping suggest it will feel more delicate in very small settings.
