A streamlined sans with a monolinear feel, wide set proportions, and generous apertures. Curves are built from smooth, elliptical bowls with subtly flattened horizontals, giving letters like C, O, and e a soft, aerodynamic profile. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional gently rounded endings; joins stay crisp and uncluttered. The overall rhythm is airy due to the wide spacing and open counters, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain sharp and precise against the otherwise rounded construction.
Best suited to display settings where width and clean geometry can be an asset: headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, and posters. Its open forms and simple stroke behavior also make it a workable option for UI labels and signage, especially where a modern, technical look is desired.
The tone is modern and understated, with a slightly sci‑fi/tech flavor created by the wide stance and oval geometry. It feels calm and efficient rather than expressive, projecting clarity and a contemporary, engineered sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, wide-set sans that feels clean and engineered, pairing geometric roundness with sharp diagonals for a modern display voice. The emphasis appears to be on visual smoothness, openness, and a consistent, minimal construction that holds together across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms read particularly expansive and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a similarly open, rounded construction that maintains legibility in running text. Numerals echo the same elliptical logic, with smooth curves and a consistent stroke impression across the set.
