A streamlined oblique sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent stroke thickness and generous horizontal proportions. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel, while terminals stay crisp and flat. The rhythm is open and airy with a tall lowercase and compact ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same squared geometry for a cohesive set.
Works best for headlines, short bursts of text, and identity work where a modern, high-speed look is desired. It fits well in tech and product branding, esports and motorsport visuals, posters, packaging, and UI labels where a geometric, extended oblique style helps text stand out.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, with a fast, engineered feel. Its wide stance and forward slant suggest motion and performance, leaning toward sci‑fi, automotive, and digital-interface aesthetics rather than editorial warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a cohesive, futuristic sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton and an emphasis on motion. The goal appears to be strong display impact and a consistent geometric voice across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Many letterforms emphasize straight segments and chamfer-like joins, producing a clean, modular silhouette that stays legible at display sizes. The uppercase has a strong, signage-like presence, while the lowercase remains distinctive and consistent with the same rounded-rect construction.
