A forward-leaning geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded corners. Strokes stay even throughout, with softened terminals and a consistent, slightly mechanical rhythm. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and many curves are resolved as chamfered or radiused angles, giving letters a crisp yet smooth contour. Proportions are open and legible, with broad uppercase forms and compact, efficient lowercase structures that keep the texture tidy in lines of text.
This style works especially well for short-to-medium text in tech-forward contexts: product branding, sports or automotive graphics, interface headings, dashboards, and signage where a modern, motion-driven feel is desirable. It also holds up in larger blocks as a contemporary display sans, provided ample size is used to preserve the crisp internal shapes.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered—suggesting speed, technology, and precision. Its rounded-square geometry reads as modern and synthetic rather than humanist, creating a clean, confident voice suited to interfaces and performance-oriented branding.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an energetic, readable sans with a streamlined, forward-leaning stance. Its consistent stroke behavior and softened corners suggest an intention to balance technical precision with friendly smoothness for modern digital and brand environments.
The design leans on distinctive squared rounds in characters like O/Q and numerals, and the oblique posture reinforces a sense of motion. Spacing and letterfit appear tuned for continuous reading, producing an even, lightly compressed word image without looking condensed.
