A forward-leaning, extended sans with superelliptical construction: strokes are heavy and even, with rounded corners and squared-off curves that read as softened rectangles. Counters are compact and often horizontally emphasized, while terminals tend to be blunt or gently chamfered, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. The overall rhythm is tight and mechanical, with clear geometric repetition across straight segments, rounded-rectangle bowls, and consistently smoothed joins.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as headlines, logos, motorsport or athletic identity systems, game and tech UI titling, and poster work. It also works for short product names or interface labels where a futuristic, engineered voice is desired and the letterforms can be set large enough to preserve interior clarity.
The font projects a fast, synthetic tone—suggesting speed, machinery, and digital interfaces. Its rounded-rect geometry keeps it friendly enough for display use, but the slanted stance and compressed apertures add a distinctly high-tech, performance-oriented attitude.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with a dynamic slant to evoke motion and technology. It prioritizes a consistent, manufactured silhouette and strong presence over neutral text readability.
Distinctive features include the superelliptical ‘O/0’ and similarly boxy rounded forms in letters like C, D, G, and Q, plus a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ that reinforce the constructed, modern feel. The wide stance and blunt detailing can reduce small-size clarity, but it reads strongly at medium to large sizes where its geometry and slant become a primary design asset.
