An extended, oblique sans with smooth, rounded geometry and consistently even stroke weight. Counters are generously open and oval, with softly squared terminals that often resolve into horizontal “sled” ends, giving letters a fast, gliding baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase stays highly legible with simple constructions; the single-storey a and g and the clean, open e reinforce a contemporary, functional texture. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably wide 0 and an 8 built from two stacked, pill-shaped bowls.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where width and slant can convey motion: headlines, logos, sports and automotive branding, packaging accents, and UI/tech-themed graphics. It also holds together in larger blocks of text when set with ample line spacing, where its open counters and consistent strokes maintain clarity.
The overall tone reads modern and kinetic—suggesting speed, machinery, and digital interfaces rather than traditional editorial typography. Its rounded corners keep it friendly, but the slanted stance and stretched proportions push it toward a performance-oriented, forward-looking voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sleek, speed-inflected sans for contemporary display work—combining geometric roundness with oblique momentum and broad proportions to create an instantly “modern-tech” silhouette.
Distinctive details include the rounded, compact shoulder on r, a flat-topped crossbar on t, and a Q with a short, angular tail that adds a slightly technical accent. Diagonal letters (V/W/X/Y/Z) are sharply cut yet softened by rounded joins, preserving a streamlined, aerodynamic feel across the set.
