A rounded geometric sans with an oblique stance and compact, athletic proportions. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse cues: corners are softened, curves are smooth, and counters tend toward squarish rounds (notably in O, D, P, and e). Stroke endings are clean and slightly chamfered/angled, reinforcing forward motion, while joins stay sturdy and simplified. Uppercase is wide-set and stable, lowercase is more utilitarian with a single-storey a and g, a tight-shouldered r, and a descendered q; numerals follow the same rounded, blocky construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy such as headlines, wordmarks, product branding, sports and esports graphics, posters, and packaging. It can also work for UI labels and navigation where a brisk, modern tone is desired, particularly at larger sizes where the rounded-square counters and angled terminals remain clear.
The overall tone reads energetic and contemporary, with a performance-oriented feel similar to motorsport, athletic branding, and interface typography. The oblique rhythm and softened geometry give it speed and friendliness at once, projecting confidence without feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rect forms with a forward-leaning, high-energy rhythm. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, smooth curvature, and a cohesive oblique flow to convey speed, modernity, and approachable toughness.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) are emphasized and crisp, helping the font feel fast and directional. Apertures are moderately closed and spacing looks even, which can make words appear cohesive and compact in display settings.
