A heavy, oblique sans with squared-off, superelliptical curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear with a soft, engineered feel, and terminals are cleanly cut, giving letters a streamlined silhouette. Counters are generously opened and the proportions lean slightly wide in rounded letters (O, Q) while maintaining compact joins in forms like M, N, and W. The numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle construction, with clear, sturdy shapes and minimal interior detailing.
This font is well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a strong, forward-leaning voice helps—such as headlines, product branding, event posters, and sports or automotive graphics. It can also work in UI labels and interface headings when a modern, rounded-tech personality is desired, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the crispness of its compact joins.
The overall tone feels modern and performance-oriented, combining friendliness from the rounded geometry with a purposeful, tech-forward slant. Its shapes read as controlled and efficient rather than playful, suggesting speed and precision while staying approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans that emphasizes speed and modernity through an oblique stance and superelliptical construction. By pairing heavy strokes with rounded-square geometry, it aims to feel robust and technical while remaining smooth and approachable.
The oblique angle is steady across the set, helping lines of text form a forward-moving rhythm. Corners and curves appear optically smoothed, avoiding sharp points even in diagonals like K, V, and X, which reinforces the cohesive ‘soft-tech’ aesthetic.
