A rounded, oblique sans with a superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as softened rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are monoline and low-contrast, with flat-ish terminals that are subtly rounded, producing a crisp, engineered edge. Curves transition smoothly into straights, and many forms lean on squared-off arcs (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals), creating a consistent, modular rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, and spacing is even enough for continuous text while retaining a slightly tightened, forward-leaning posture.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and product surfaces where a modern, rounded-technical look is desired. It can also work effectively in branding, packaging, and short-to-medium headlines where the oblique stance adds energy; for longer text, it’s best used at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing.
The overall tone is fast and technical, suggesting motion and efficiency without feeling aggressive. Its rounded corners soften the geometry, giving it an approachable, contemporary flavor that still reads purpose-built and sporty.
The design appears intended to combine geometric clarity with a forward-leaning, performance-oriented feel. By using superellipse-derived curves and softened corners, it aims to read clean and contemporary while keeping a distinctive, engineered character.
Distinctive squared-round shapes show up across both letters and figures, helping the font maintain a coherent voice in headlines and UI-like settings. The italic angle is integral to the design rather than a simple slant, and the numerals echo the same superelliptical logic for a unified alphanumeric texture.
