A compact, oblique sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into rounded rectangles, producing corners that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Proportions are narrow with long verticals and a tall lowercase body, while counters stay open and geometric. Terminals tend to be blunt or subtly angled, and the rhythm is brisk and slightly mechanical, with consistently tight curves and clean joins across letters and numerals.
Works well for headlines, brand marks, and short callouts where a fast, engineered look is desirable. It also suits product graphics, esports or automotive styling, and interface labeling where compact width helps fit information into limited space.
The overall tone reads fast, modern, and technical—suggesting speed, precision, and a purpose-built aesthetic. Its squared curves and forward slant evoke motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and contemporary industrial design rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, forward-leaning sans that merges rounded-rectangle geometry with compact proportions for a high-tech, speed-oriented voice. The consistent, squared curvature suggests an emphasis on reproducible shapes and a cohesive, system-like feel across the character set.
Uppercase forms lean toward rectangular bowls and squared-off rounds (notably in characters like C, D, O, and Q), reinforcing the superellipse theme. The numerals follow the same geometry, with clear, angular shaping that keeps figures crisp and display-friendly. In text, the condensed width and steady stroke make it feel best when given a bit of tracking and ample line spacing.
