A forward-leaning sans with extended proportions and a squared‑round (superelliptical) construction. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with softened corners and smoothly radiused joins that keep the shapes compact and aerodynamic. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, with wide apertures and simplified, geometric logic; curves transition into straighter segments rather than fully circular bowls. The rhythm is energetic, with consistent slanting stress across letters and numerals and a slightly mechanical, modular feel in how diagonals and horizontals meet.
Best suited to display typography where its width and slant can project speed and modernity—headlines, product branding, esports and sports graphics, poster titles, and packaging. It also works well for UI headers, dashboards, and tech-forward marketing where a streamlined, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone reads fast, modern, and performance-oriented—more “tech product” and “motorsport” than editorial. Its oblique stance and rounded-rectangle geometry suggest motion, precision, and engineered sleekness, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The letterforms appear designed to combine a contemporary, geometric system with a sense of velocity: squared-round construction for a technical foundation, softened corners for friendliness, and a strong oblique slant to convey movement and emphasis in display settings.
The design favors clear silhouettes at larger sizes, with distinctive angular diagonals and rounded-square bowls that help characters feel cohesive as a set. Numerals follow the same superelliptical logic, giving interfaces and displays a consistent, system-like texture. The italic angle is pronounced enough to contribute to personality even in short words and headlines.
