A wide, high-contrast sans with rounded bowls and tapered, slightly flared terminals that create a carved, swooping silhouette. Strokes move between sturdy verticals and thinning joins, with smooth curves and subtly squared-off inner counters that keep forms crisp at large sizes. The lowercase has a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, banded rhythm in text. Overall spacing is generous and the letterforms feel intentionally stylized rather than strictly geometric, with distinctive, sculpted details in curves and terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where its sculpted terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the strong stylization and dense lowercase rhythm make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as retro-futuristic and playful, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its swooping terminals and high-contrast construction suggest a stylized, slightly theatrical tone—bold and friendly rather than austere. The overall voice feels designed to attract attention and add personality to short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver an attention-grabbing, characterful sans that blends rounded construction with flared, high-contrast finishing. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a lively rhythm for branding and titling over neutrality for continuous text.
Round letters like O/C/G emphasize smooth, almost elliptical bowls, while many endings finish in wedge-like flares that mimic a chiseled or brushed cutoff. Numerals follow the same language, with prominent curves and strong baseline presence, and they visually match the letterforms for cohesive titling.
