A slanted sans built from squared, superellipse-like outlines with generously rounded corners. Strokes are thick and steady with subtly tapered joins, producing a clean, machined rhythm rather than a calligraphic one. Counters tend to be rectangular and slightly condensed, while curves (like in C, G, O, Q) resolve into flattened, boxy arcs. Terminals are mostly sheared or crisply cut, and many letters show a forward-leaning, speed-oriented geometry with compact apertures and tight interior space.
Best suited to short text where its oblique momentum and chunky geometry can carry the message—logos, event branding, sports/gaming graphics, packaging callouts, and poster headlines. It can work for UI labels or section headers when a technical, high-energy voice is desired, but its dense counters favor larger sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and performance-driven—more motorsport and esports than editorial. Its oblique stance and squared rounding read as technical and engineered, giving headlines an energetic, competitive feel.
The design appears intended to merge a contemporary square-rounded geometry with an aggressive forward slant, creating a display-friendly sans that signals speed and modern tech. Its consistent superellipse construction and crisp cuts suggest an emphasis on visual cohesion and strong silhouette recognition in branding contexts.
The uppercase has a sturdy, blocky presence with squared bowls and a geometric baseline discipline, while the lowercase follows with similarly compact forms and a straightforward, utilitarian construction. Numerals keep the same rounded-rectangle logic and feel optimized for impact at larger sizes, with a distinctly streamlined, contemporary silhouette.
