A slanted geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and a smooth, continuous rhythm. Counters tend toward squarish superellipses, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a compact, athletic feel, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than flared. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders, and broad, open apertures that keep the shapes clear at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic and sit with a stable, wide-footed stance.
Works best for high-impact display typography such as branding, packaging, sports and fitness graphics, event posters, and tech-forward marketing. It also suits interface headings, dashboards, and wayfinding where a compact, rounded geometric voice communicates speed and precision. For long-form text, it’s more effective in short bursts like pull quotes and callouts.
The overall tone reads fast, engineered, and contemporary—like a performance-oriented UI or motorsport wordmark. The oblique angle adds forward motion, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable rather than aggressive. It balances a utilitarian, technical clarity with a bold, headline-ready presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, performance-minded aesthetic using rounded-square geometry and a built-in forward slant. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified forms prioritize strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive system across letters and figures.
The design emphasizes consistent curvature and tight corner radii, producing a coherent “superellipse” silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are broad and sturdy, and the Q’s short tail reinforces the streamlined, logo-friendly character. The sample text suggests strong impact in short lines, with the slant and weight creating a dense texture in longer passages.
