A wide, geometric sans with rounded bowls and open apertures, drawn with largely monoline strokes and squared-off terminals. The proportions are expansive and horizontal, with broad capitals and a tall, sturdy lowercase that reads large at a given point size. Curves tend toward circular/elliptical construction (notably in O, C, and e), while joins and endings stay crisp, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. Figures are similarly wide and solid, with simple, legible construction and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines, UI titling, signage, and bold brand statements where width and clarity are assets. It can also work for short text blocks or captions when ample horizontal space is available, delivering a clean, high-visibility texture.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a slightly futuristic, tech-forward feel. Its broad stance and smooth geometry project confidence and clarity rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to provide a highly legible, contemporary sans with wide proportions and simple geometric construction, balancing friendly roundness with disciplined, technical finishing for modern digital and environmental use.
Across the set, counters remain generous and shapes avoid fussy detailing, supporting strong word silhouettes in display sizes. The combination of rounded forms with squared terminals creates a distinctive “soft-meets-technical” personality.
