A wide, sans serif design with a low, extended stance and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes show noticeable modulation: many curves swell through the middle and taper toward terminals, producing a streamlined, slightly aerodynamic feel. Corners are generally softened, while diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/X and the peak of A) introduce crisp, angular accents. Counters are open and rounded, and many letters show subtly sliced or sheared terminals that add motion and a distinctive rhythm across words.
Best suited to display settings where its wide proportions and tapered modulation can be appreciated—headlines, posters, product branding, and logotypes. It can also work for short UI labels or interface-style graphics when a futuristic, stylized voice is desired, but its strong width and distinctive terminals make it less ideal for dense, small-size body text.
The overall tone reads modern and tech-leaning, with a playful retro edge reminiscent of sci‑fi titling and late-20th-century display aesthetics. The widened proportions and tapered strokes make text feel fast, sleek, and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, widened sans with a signature terminal treatment and controlled contrast, aiming for a futuristic display presence that remains smooth and readable at larger sizes.
The figures are similarly wide and stylized, with curved, band-like forms in 2/3/5 and a distinctive looped construction in 6/9 that mirrors the font’s swelling-and-tapering stroke logic. The lowercase maintains a clean, constructed feel; single-storey forms (a, g) and rounded bowls keep the texture friendly, while the broad widths can dominate in tight columns.
