A geometric sans with extended proportions and a low-slung, horizontal rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight and clean, with rounded terminals and broad, rectangular counters that soften the otherwise angular construction. Curves tend toward flattened ovals, giving letters like O, C, and G a wide, capsule-like silhouette, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and sparing. The uppercase is built from simple, engineered forms and open apertures; the lowercase echoes this with compact bowls and short, functional joins, producing an even, controlled texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, and brand systems where a sleek, technical tone is desired, particularly in technology and product contexts. It also works well for UI/UX display text, dashboards, and signage where broad forms and simplified shapes help maintain clarity at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone reads contemporary and tech-forward, with a subtle sci‑fi flavor driven by the stretched geometry and streamlined curves. It feels cool, precise, and slightly retro-futurist, evoking interfaces, product hardware, and modern industrial graphics rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, systemized sans that feels engineered and contemporary, using extended proportions, flattened curves, and clean terminals to create a strong, recognizable voice for display typography.
In the sample text, the wide set and generous internal space keep forms clear at larger sizes, while the flattened curves and squared-off detailing create a distinctive, display-oriented voice. Numerals and punctuation follow the same streamlined logic, reinforcing an engineered, system-like consistency across the set.
