A wide, oblique sans with monoline strokes and generously rounded, superellipse-like corners. Curves resolve into flattened arcs and rounded-rectangle counters, giving letters like C, D, O, and Q a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal, and joins stay crisp while still softened by consistent corner radii. The overall rhythm is airy and extended, with stable stroke thickness and a smooth, streamlined silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its extended width and oblique motion can read as intentional—headlines, logos, product naming, posters, and sporty or tech-forward brand systems. It can also work for interface accents and labels when ample space is available, but its wide set makes it less economical for dense paragraphs.
The design reads as modern and forward-leaning, with a fast, engineered feel reminiscent of automotive, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the slanted stance and wide proportions add momentum and a sense of motion.
The font appears designed to combine a softened, rounded-rectangle geometry with an assertive, forward-leaning stance, producing a contemporary display sans that signals speed and technology while remaining visually friendly.
Distinctive forms include a rounded-rectangle “0”/“O” structure, a “1” that appears as a simple slanted stroke, and a “Q” with a short diagonal tail. Lowercase shows single-story construction in letters like “a,” and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text maintain a clean, display-oriented cadence.
