A heavy, extended sans with smooth, rounded geometry and consistent stroke weight. Curves are built from broad ovals and near-circular bowls, while straight segments stay crisp and orthogonal, creating a streamlined, engineered feel. Counters are generous and open, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is spacious due to the wide letterforms and long horizontals. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, geometric construction, with simplified joins and a sturdy, monoline presence.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and branding where a bold, contemporary voice is needed. It performs well on posters, product marks, packaging, and large-format signage, and can also work for short UI labels or navigation where a wide, clean sans is desired.
The tone is modern and forward-looking, with a sleek, tech-oriented character. Its wide stance and rounded construction convey confidence and speed, reading as contemporary, sporty, and slightly futuristic rather than neutral or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans optimized for impact and clarity, using rounded geometric forms and extended proportions to create a distinctive, contemporary identity.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence at display sizes, with a distinctive silhouette driven by broad curves and extended widths. Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic and feel designed to match headings and UI-style titling.
