A broadly proportioned sans with squared-off curves and generously rounded corners, giving bowls and counters a soft-rectangular geometry. Strokes read mostly even, but with noticeable thinning at joins and curves that creates a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, and many forms lean toward rectangular construction (notably in C/S and several lowercase bowls), while maintaining smooth curvature. Spacing is open and the wide set reinforces a stable, horizontal silhouette in text.
This face suits wide, high-impact settings such as wordmarks, headlines, posters, and packaging where its extended proportions and rounded-square geometry can read as modern and intentional. It also works well for interface or product-style display typography where a clean, technical impression is desirable, while remaining legible enough for short blocks of text at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and technical, with a streamlined, manufactured character. Rounded-square shaping and crisp thinning at bends evoke digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and contemporary sci‑fi styling without becoming overtly decorative.
The letterforms appear designed to combine geometric construction with softened corners, aiming for a contemporary, technology-forward look. The wide stance and controlled simplification suggest an intention to deliver strong presence in display use while maintaining a consistent, system-like feel across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
The design emphasizes strong horizontal presence and clear, simplified silhouettes, with a mix of circular and squarish construction that keeps text looking orderly and controlled. Numerals and capitals appear built for consistency and quick recognition, favoring smooth, continuous outlines over sharp corners.
