A wide, contrasted sans with squarish bowls and generously rounded corners. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier verticals and thinner connecting curves and cross-strokes, giving the letters a crisp, engineered rhythm without feeling brittle. Many terminals are softly flared or subtly hooked, and several joins pinch into tight notches that read like mild ink-trap behavior. Counters are open and geometric, with an overall slightly condensed aperture treatment in letters like C, G, and S, while straight-sided forms (H, I, N, U) stay clean and monolinear in silhouette despite the contrast. Figures follow the same squared-round construction, with distinctive, open shapes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display typography where its wide proportions, squared-round construction, and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI or product labels when a retro-tech voice is desired, but its distinctive modulation and stylized terminals make it more compelling in larger sizes than in long text.
The overall tone blends retro display energy with a streamlined, tech-leaning feel. Its squared curves and deliberate stroke modulation evoke vintage sci‑fi titles, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling, while the softened corners keep it approachable and slightly playful. The result feels confident and mechanical rather than delicate or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, modernized retro sans voice: geometric and industrial in structure, but softened by rounded corners and lively terminal treatment. Its contrast and wide stance aim to create strong silhouette recognition and a branded, title-ready presence.
The design’s character comes through most in the curved letters and in the lowercase, where compact shoulders and hooked terminals add motion. Spacing appears comfortable for display sizes, and the wide set-widths reinforce an expansive, headline-oriented presence. The punctuation and shapes in the sample suggest a consistent approach to contrast and corner rounding across the set.
