This typeface is a stylized sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and broad, sweeping curves. Letterforms are notably expanded with generous horizontal proportions, while stems stay relatively narrow, creating an airy, elongated silhouette. Many terminals finish in subtle flares or tapered wedge-like ends that suggest a pen-driven construction without forming true serifs. Counters are largely open and rounded, and the overall rhythm alternates between sharp internal joins and smooth, continuous bowls, giving the set a dynamic, sculpted look.
It performs best in attention-setting contexts such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks where its wide proportions and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated. Short to medium-length lines and larger sizes will showcase the sculpted curves and tapered terminals most clearly.
The tone reads as sleek and theatrical—part sci‑fi display, part refined poster lettering. Its dramatic contrast and wide stance make it feel expressive and slightly playful, with a sense of motion in the curved strokes and flared endings.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, contemporary display sans that merges clean, sans foundations with calligraphic contrast and flared stroke endings. The aim is strong visual personality and memorable word-shapes rather than neutral text utility.
The font’s character is driven by consistent contrast and expansive curves, which can create striking word-shapes in headlines but also increases individuality at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same sweeping, stylized construction, reinforcing a cohesive display voice across mixed text.
