A slanted, rounded sans with a modular, geometric build and soft rectangular bowls. Strokes are heavy with smooth curvature and frequent ink-trap-like interior notches and cut-ins that sharpen joins and open counters. Letterforms favor wide, flattened apertures and squarish rounds (notably in O/C/D/Q shapes), while terminals often finish in tapered, blade-like angles that enhance forward motion. The rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in detail, with consistent corner rounding and occasional internal splits (e.g., in B, S, 8) that create a segmented, engineered texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, product branding, and logo work where the distinctive cut-ins and rounded geometry can be appreciated. It also fits technology, motorsport, and gaming/UI theming when used at medium-to-large sizes with generous spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone reads futuristic and performance-oriented, with a cockpit/display feel that also nods to retro sci-fi and arcade lettering. Its slant and streamlined cuts suggest speed and motion, giving headlines an assertive, tech-forward voice without becoming harsh due to the rounded corners.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly rounded skeleton with engineered, high-speed detailing—using slant, squarish curves, and strategic cut-ins to signal modernity and motion while maintaining a cohesive, system-like consistency across letters and figures.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive construction, and numerals follow the same squared-round geometry for a unified set. The distinctive internal cutaways add character at larger sizes but can visually fill in at small sizes, especially where counters are already tight.
