A forward-leaning, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with softened corners and frequent horizontal slicing that creates open counters and stencil-like interruptions in bowls and terminals. Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs and chamfered joins, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Spacing reads generous for a display face, with clearly separated characters and a steady, mechanical rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short promotional copy where its segmented geometry can read as a stylistic feature. It also fits tech-themed layouts, esports or motorsport aesthetics, and interface-style graphics where a fast, engineered voice is desired. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the internal cuts remain clear.
The overall tone is high-tech and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and contemporary athletic branding. The angled posture and segmented details add energy and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to merge a rounded-rect geometric skeleton with a dynamic, performance-driven slant and a signature segmented detailing. The goal reads as a distinctive display sans that signals speed, technology, and modern industrial design while maintaining consistent, repeatable forms across the character set.
Distinctive split strokes appear in several rounded letters and numerals, producing a “cut” motif that becomes a defining texture in longer lines of text. The superelliptic construction keeps shapes consistent across caps and lowercase, and the numerals match the same rounded, segmented language for cohesive titling and UI-style readouts.
