A rounded, geometric sans with a pronounced forward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, with terminals and corners softened into squarish, superelliptical curves. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangular shapes, and many forms emphasize flat-ish tops and bottoms rather than perfect circles, producing a stable, engineered feel. Spacing reads open and roomy, while the rhythm stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with simplified, sturdy letterforms that remain clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and short-form messaging where a bold, motion-forward look is desirable. It also works well for sports, gaming, and tech-themed interfaces or promotional graphics, especially when numbers need to stand out. For long reading, it will be more effective in brief callouts, labels, and UI accents rather than extended paragraphs.
The overall tone is fast and contemporary, blending a sporty, motorsport-like energy with a clean tech aesthetic. Its soft-square geometry keeps it friendly and approachable, while the oblique angle adds motion and urgency. The result feels modern and slightly playful without becoming casual or handwritten.
The design appears intended to fuse superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction with an italicized stance to communicate speed and modernity. It prioritizes bold presence, clean geometry, and easy recognition over subtlety, aiming for a contemporary display voice that reads well in branding and high-impact settings.
Figures and capitals share the same rounded-rectangle DNA, giving headings and numerical data a unified look. The slant is consistent across the set, and the broad forms create a strong word-shape that can become dominant in dense text, favoring shorter lines and larger sizes.
