A streamlined sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are thin and even, with clean, open apertures and broad, extended proportions that create a horizontal, aerodynamic rhythm. Curves are controlled and flattened, counters read as rounded boxes rather than circles, and terminals tend to be crisp yet softened by consistent corner radii. The overall texture is uniform and mechanical, with a forward slant and a notably large x-height that keeps lowercase forms clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display text where its extended width and sleek slant can signal modernity and speed. It also works well for UI titles, dashboards, and signage that benefit from geometric consistency and open counters, provided spacing is managed to accommodate the wide forms.
The tone feels futuristic and engineered—more “interface” than “editorial.” Its wide stance and oblique posture suggest motion and speed, giving it a sporty, high-tech character that fits sci‑fi, automotive, and performance branding cues while remaining clean and minimal.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, tech-forward voice using superelliptical geometry, emphasizing smooth corners, wide proportions, and a sense of forward motion. Its large x-height and simplified construction suggest a focus on clarity and a cohesive, system-like aesthetic for modern digital and branding contexts.
The design leans on squarish bowls and rounded corners in letters like O/Q and in numerals, reinforcing a cohesive superelliptical theme. Diagonal-heavy forms (K, V, W, X, Y) appear sharp but controlled, and the lowercase maintains a compact, efficient silhouette with simplified details, contributing to a tight, modern word image.
