A slanted, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared counters softened by generous corner radii. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with frequent chamfered or clipped terminals that create sharp, aerodynamic edges. Forms are slightly extended and forward-leaning, with compact apertures and a tight internal rhythm; curves tend to resolve into superelliptical corners rather than true circles. Numerals and capitals share the same engineered, modular logic, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and short bursts of text where its speed-and-tech personality can lead. It fits particularly well in sports, automotive, gaming, and sci‑fi themed applications, as well as UI labels or dashboards when used at sufficiently large sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is fast, technical, and performance-driven, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial branding. Its oblique posture and cut terminals add urgency and motion, while the rounded-rect geometry keeps it controlled and modern rather than aggressive or rough.
The letterforms appear designed to communicate motion and engineered precision through oblique stance, superelliptical geometry, and consistently clipped terminals. The system prioritizes a cohesive, modular silhouette that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented in branding and display contexts.
Distinctive details include squared bowls and counters (notably in O/Q and 0/8), an angular, segmented feel in S and Z, and a compact, mechanical treatment of diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. The design favors display clarity over open readability, with smaller openings and tight joins that create a dense, solid word shape at larger sizes.
