A heavy, extended serif with a strongly horizontal, aerodynamic structure and minimal stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from broad, squared curves with softened corners, producing wide bowls and open counters in characters like O, C, and e. Serifs read as small flares and wedges rather than brackets, and many strokes show deliberate notch-like cut-ins or inline openings (notably in S and several numerals), giving the shapes a machined, segmented feel. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is stable, favoring long horizontal terminals and compact apertures.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems where an extended, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for technology, automotive, sports, or entertainment applications, and the strong numerals make it a good fit for scoreboards, product names, and large-format signage.
The face conveys a futuristic, late-20th-century tech tone—confident, engineered, and slightly cinematic. Its extended proportions and sculpted cuts feel purposeful and energetic, while the softened corners keep it from becoming harsh. Overall it reads as bold and attention-forward, with a streamlined, industrial polish.
The design appears intended to merge a conventional serif foundation with a streamlined, machine-cut display personality. Extended proportions, flared serifs, and controlled cut-ins create a distinctive silhouette meant to remain recognizable at large sizes and in bold editorial or branding contexts.
The design emphasizes horizontal momentum: wide caps, low visual contrast, and flattened curves create a consistent, banded texture in text. Distinctive details in the numerals (especially 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9) reinforce the engineered aesthetic and help the font stand out in titling and numbering.
