A compact, forward-leaning sans with squared, superelliptical curves and consistently rounded outer corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with sharp, clean terminals and a generally closed, aerodynamic construction that keeps counters compact (notably in forms like O, e, and a). The overall rhythm is narrow and efficient, with a pronounced oblique angle and a slightly mechanical, modular feel; diagonals and joins are simplified and sturdy, giving the alphabet a cohesive, engineered silhouette. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying highly geometric and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-form messaging where the slanted, geometric forms can communicate momentum and precision. It also fits sports and automotive-style branding, tech or industrial packaging, gaming and interface callouts, and bold editorial pull quotes where a sleek, engineered voice is desired.
The font projects speed and control—confident, modern, and purpose-built. Its oblique stance and squared-round geometry evoke motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding, with a tone that feels energetic rather than playful.
The letterforms appear designed to combine a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton with a dynamic oblique posture, prioritizing impact, speed cues, and a cohesive sci‑tech aesthetic. The tight counters and sturdy joins suggest an intention to remain solid and readable in large-scale display applications.
The design favors continuous, enclosed shapes and minimal openings, which strengthens impact but can reduce clarity at very small sizes or in dense text. The italic angle is strong enough to read as motion, making the face particularly effective when set with generous tracking or used in short bursts.
