A wide, oblique sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction that gives counters and terminals soft, squared-off corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves transitioning into flat-ish horizontals and verticals, creating a streamlined, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are open and simplified, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height and compact apertures; numerals follow the same rounded, squarish geometry for a cohesive set. Overall spacing feels generous and horizontal, emphasizing speed and breadth rather than compact text density.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and short UI or product labels where width and slant can communicate motion and modernity. It also fits sports and performance branding, tech packaging, and display typography where a streamlined geometric texture is desirable.
The font projects a fast, modern tone with an automotive and tech-forward feel. Its rounded corners and consistent stroke behavior soften the industrial geometry, resulting in a confident, contemporary voice that reads as sporty rather than severe.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with a softened, high-speed silhouette, using superellipse-like shapes and an intentional slant to evoke motion. It prioritizes a distinctive, contemporary texture for display settings while keeping letterforms clean and consistent.
The oblique angle is integral to the design rather than an afterthought, with curves and joins shaped to keep forms smooth at slant. Many terminals end in rounded-square cuts, reinforcing the superelliptical theme across letters and figures.
