This typeface is a slanted, heavy sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and corners are consistently softened rather than circular. Strokes are monolinear with a firm, engineered feel, and many counters are squarish (notably in O, D, P, and 0), producing a compact, aerodynamic rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly sheared to match the oblique angle, with short crossbars and tight apertures that keep the silhouettes dense. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with the 2, 3, and 5 built from flattened curves and crisp horizontal cuts.
It is best suited to display settings where a strong, contemporary voice is needed—team marks, esports and gaming graphics, tech branding, packaging, and punchy headlines. The dense forms and tight apertures suggest using it at medium-to-large sizes for maximum clarity and impact.
The overall tone reads as modern and performance-driven—closer to motorsport, UI, and sci‑fi interfaces than to editorial or literary typography. Its forward slant and squared curves convey speed, precision, and a slightly aggressive confidence.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a fast, forward-leaning sans that feels engineered and modern. By combining softened corners with squarish counters and consistent sheared terminals, it aims for a cohesive, high-energy visual system across letters and numerals.
Distinctive features include a boxy, rounded O/0, an angular, streamlined S, and a Q with a clear diagonal tail. The lowercase maintains the same constructed geometry, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that emphasize a technical, modular look.
