A geometric, oblique sans with squared-round (superellipse) construction and smooth, corner-based curves that often resolve into flat-ish arcs. Strokes are consistently heavy and uniform, with wide set proportions and open counters, producing a clean, blocky rhythm. Terminals are mostly clipped and angled, reinforcing forward motion, while bowls and round forms read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders; figures follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive, engineered texture.
Best suited to display settings where its wide, oblique shapes can read clearly: headlines, logotypes, product and automotive/motorsport graphics, tech brand systems, and UI/UX accents such as section titles, buttons, and dashboards. It can also work for short captions or signage when set with generous spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and tech-forward, with a motorsport or sci-fi edge. Its slanted stance and angular cut-ins suggest motion and efficiency, while the rounded-rectangle curves keep it friendly and controlled rather than aggressive. The result feels contemporary and utilitarian, suited to interfaces and performance-driven branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, high-performance look by combining squared-round geometry with consistent heavy strokes and a forward-leaning stance. Its construction favors clarity and impact, aiming for a contemporary industrial aesthetic that remains approachable through softened corners.
Letterforms maintain a consistent modular feel across cases, with distinctive squared counters in characters like O and Q and a generally rectangular footprint throughout. The oblique angle is steady and the spacing appears designed for headline clarity rather than compact text setting.
