A chunky oblique sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with softly chamfered corners and large-radius curves. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal contrast, giving an even, engineered texture. Counters tend toward squarish apertures, and terminals are clean and blunt, often ending in slightly angled cuts that reinforce forward motion. The overall rhythm is extended and compactly spaced for a dense, high-impact word shape while maintaining clear letter separation.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-form display where its extended, slanted geometry can project speed and strength. It works well for sports identities, automotive or tech branding, gaming titles, packaging callouts, and UI/overlay moments that need an assertive, futuristic tone. For longer text, it will be most effective in larger sizes and with generous leading to preserve clarity.
The design reads fast and contemporary, with a strong motorsport and sci‑fi UI flavor. Its rounded-square geometry feels technical and controlled, while the slant and angled details add speed and energy. The tone is confident and utilitarian rather than friendly or ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-impact look by combining rounded-rect geometry with a consistent oblique stance and blunt, aerodynamic terminals. The goal seems to be a cohesive, machine-made aesthetic that stays legible while emphasizing motion and performance.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls show up in characters like O/Q/0 and in the squared counters of B, 8, and 9. The numerals are display-oriented, matching the letterforms’ rounded corners and forward-leaning stance for cohesive titling. The overall silhouette favors tight apertures and sturdy joins, which helps it hold shape at larger sizes where the geometric character is most apparent.
