A compact, oblique sans with softened rectangular geometry: curves resolve into rounded corners and superelliptical bowls rather than true circles. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, with slightly squared terminals and a crisp, industrial edge. The proportions feel tight and efficient, with narrow apertures and a pragmatic rhythm that keeps counters small and forms punchy. Numerals and capitals echo the same rounded-rectangle construction, producing a consistent, engineered texture in text and display sizes.
Works well for headlines, short UI labels, packaging, and wayfinding where a sturdy, contemporary sans is needed with a distinctive rounded-rectilinear voice. It also suits sports and tech branding systems, especially for logotypes, decals, and bold typographic blocks that benefit from its compact rhythm and engineered shapes.
The overall tone is sporty and technical, suggesting performance graphics, signage, and equipment labeling. Its rounded-square construction reads modern-industrial with a subtle retro-futurist flavor, balancing friendliness (from the softened corners) with a no-nonsense, utilitarian attitude.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity of a utilitarian sans with superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction, delivering a recognizable, efficient silhouette. The oblique posture adds motion and urgency, reinforcing an emphasis on speed, performance, and modern industrial aesthetics.
The oblique slant is consistent across upper and lower case, and the design leans on straight-sided bowls (notably in letters like D, O, Q, and lowercase a/e) to create a distinctive “squared-off” silhouette. The uppercase set is assertive and blocky, while the lowercase remains compact and functional, keeping a uniform, slightly condensed texture in running lines.
