A streamlined oblique sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) bowls and softly squared corners. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, creating a crisp, engineered texture. Proportions lean slightly condensed in some capitals, while counters remain open and legible; round forms like C, G, O, and 0 read as squarish ovals rather than circles. The italic slant is consistent and forward-leaning, and spacing feels even, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm in text.
Best suited to contexts that benefit from a forward, engineered look: interface labels, dashboards, product marks, automotive or mobility graphics, and sporty packaging. It also performs well for short-to-medium text in marketing or informational layouts where a modern oblique sans is desired, especially at sizes large enough to show its rounded-square detailing.
The overall tone is fast, precise, and contemporary, suggesting motion and efficiency. Its rounded-square geometry gives it a friendly edge without losing a technical, performance-oriented feel. The voice lands closer to product UI and transportation branding than editorial or classical typography.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with a sense of speed, using superelliptic curves and a consistent slant to imply motion. By keeping contrast low and terminals clean, it prioritizes a stable, contemporary texture that reads as technical and purposeful across both display and supporting text.
Capital forms emphasize flat-ish top/bottom arcs and controlled curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel taut and angular. Numerals follow the same superelliptic logic, with the 0 especially squared and the 1 kept simple and upright within the slanted system. The lowercase maintains a coherent oblique skeleton, with compact joins and tidy apertures that help keep longer lines readable.
