A wide, geometric sans with squared-off curves and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes show clear modulation, giving the letterforms a crisp, engineered look while keeping terminals smooth and controlled. Counters are generally roomy and rectangular-leaning, with rounded-rectangle bowls in characters like O, D, and P. The overall rhythm is steady and horizontal, with broad proportions, compact joins, and simplified construction that favors clean silhouettes over calligraphic detail.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its wide stance and squared curvature can be appreciated: branding, logotypes, posters, product packaging, and interface/wayfinding labels. It can set attention-grabbing subheads and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the stroke modulation and rounded-rect counters remain clear.
The tone reads modern and technical, with a hint of retro sci‑fi display styling. Its squared curves and disciplined modulation evoke instrumentation, interface labeling, and streamlined industrial design. Despite the sharp geometry, the rounded corners keep the voice approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, system-like sans that combines geometric construction with controlled contrast, creating a distinctive signature for contemporary display typography while staying clean and legible.
Capitals are especially display-oriented, with broad stance and minimal ornament. Lowercase forms maintain the same squared-curve logic, producing a cohesive texture in text while retaining a distinctly stylized personality. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle geometry, staying consistent with the alphabet’s modular feel.
