A slanted sans with squared-round construction, where curves resolve into rounded rectangles and soft corner radii. Strokes are heavy and even with minimal modulation, producing sturdy counters and a compact, forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms are wide-shouldered and tightly controlled, while lowercase shows simplified shapes and crisp terminals that often end in short horizontal cuts. Numerals and round letters (like O/0) read as superelliptical, emphasizing a geometric, engineered feel.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and high-impact branding where a strong, kinetic voice is needed. It can work well for sports, automotive, gaming, and tech-facing graphics, as well as product packaging or event signage that benefits from a bold oblique presence.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and modern, evoking performance branding and technical interfaces. The oblique stance and squared rounding add a sense of speed and machinery, balancing friendliness with a purposeful, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, speed-oriented sans that stays geometric and highly repeatable across glyphs. Its superelliptical rounds and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on clean reproduction and a recognizable silhouette in display contexts.
Interior counters stay relatively open despite the heavy strokes, supporting legibility at display sizes. The design relies on consistent corner rounding and straight-sided curves, giving text a uniform, modular texture that feels cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
