A wide, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes are consistently heavy with softly radiused corners and frequent horizontal terminals, creating a flattened, aerodynamic silhouette. Counters tend to be oval or capsule-shaped, and the overall construction favors smooth curves over sharp joins, with occasional angled strokes (notably in diagonals) that retain rounded ends. The lowercase is compact and friendly, with single-storey shapes and circular dots, while numerals follow the same soft, extended geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to display roles where its width and rounded geometry can define a visual identity—logotypes, product branding, posters, entertainment titles, and bold UI/tech brand accents. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but long passages may benefit from generous tracking and line spacing to maintain clarity.
The face reads as futuristic and tech-forward, with a distinctly playful, retro-digital edge. Its wide stance and pill-shaped details evoke sci‑fi interfaces and late-20th-century display typography, balancing approachability with a sleek, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a cohesive, superellipse-based sans with a strong, modernist silhouette—prioritizing distinctive forms, smooth continuity, and a futuristic tone over traditional text neutrality.
The extended widths and rounded joins produce strong horizontal emphasis and a rhythmic, banded texture in text. Narrow apertures and tight internal spacing in some letters can make dense settings feel more graphic than purely functional, especially at smaller sizes.
