A rounded geometric sans with monoline strokes and extended proportions. Forms are built from broad curves and softened corners, with frequent horizontal terminals that end in squared-off, slightly flared pads. Counters are open and generous, and many glyphs use compact joins and smooth, continuous arcs, creating a clean, modular rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey shapes and short, rounded arms; numerals follow the same wide, rounded construction for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and identity work where its rounded, futuristic character can be a visual hook. It also works well for packaging, entertainment branding, and game or app UI labels when used at sizes that preserve the interior openings and terminal details.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and mildly playful, evoking late-20th-century sci‑fi display lettering and tech branding. Its rounded terminals and wide stance keep it friendly rather than aggressive, while the distinctive terminal shapes add a quirky, customized voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric base with a signature terminal treatment, balancing clean construction with a distinctive, brandable personality. The wide proportions and rounded geometry suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display use while staying approachable and legible.
At larger sizes the characteristic terminal pads become a defining feature and help the face read as a designed display system rather than a neutral sans. In dense settings, those same terminal treatments can create strong horizontal emphasis and a slightly “stamped” texture across lines.
