A slanted, extended sans with a squared–rounded (superelliptical) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are robust and fairly uniform, with subtle shaping that keeps counters open in letters like C, D, O, and Q while maintaining a taut, engineered feel. Curves resolve into straight segments cleanly, and terminals tend to be clipped or gently rounded rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is wide and low, with compact inner spaces and a forward-leaning, aerodynamic silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its wide, slanted forms can project speed and precision—headlines, posters, esports and motorsport identities, product marks, and interface titling. It can also work for packaging or promotional graphics that benefit from a strong, futuristic voice, while long body text may feel dense due to the heavy strokes and extended width.
The font reads as fast, modern, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and product tech branding. Its oblique stance and wide proportions create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver an aerodynamic, contemporary sans voice built from rounded-rect geometry, balancing assertiveness with smooth corners for a polished, high-tech look. Its wide stance and oblique angle suggest emphasis on motion and impact for branding and display settings.
Distinctive details include the superellipse-like bowls, the squared-off feel of round letters, and numerals that mirror the same rounded-rect geometry (notably 0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9). The lowercase maintains the same engineered character as the caps, with a single-storey a and a compact, streamlined s. Overall spacing appears tuned for display impact, with forms that hold together in tight, bold word shapes.
