A geometric sans with an oblique posture and a distinctly superelliptical construction: curves are built from rounded rectangles, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness. Strokes are largely monolinear with clean, uniform terminals and consistently rounded corners, producing a sleek, engineered rhythm. The glyphs are generous in horizontal footprint, with open apertures and simplified internal shapes that keep forms crisp; numerals and capitals read especially structured, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, modern skeleton.
Well-suited to branding and headline work where a modern, engineered personality is desirable, particularly in technology, automotive, or sports-oriented contexts. It can also function in UI labels, dashboards, and product graphics where italicized emphasis and quick recognition are needed, though the stylized geometry is more impactful at display and medium sizes than in long text.
The overall tone feels contemporary and performance-oriented, with a polished, aerodynamic look. Its rounded-square geometry suggests technology, motion, and precision, lending a confident, forward-leaning voice without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to combine the familiarity of a clean sans with a distinctive superelliptical footprint and built-in forward motion. By standardizing corners and counters into rounded-rectangular forms and keeping stroke behavior even, it aims for a cohesive, contemporary identity that stands out in logos and prominent typographic settings.
The most recognizable signature is the tension between straight segments and softened corners—letters like O/Q/C/D and the numerals emphasize rounded-rectangle counters rather than purely circular ones. The oblique slant is consistent across the set, and the design favors clarity over calligraphic detail, with minimal embellishment and tidy junctions.
