A slanted sans with extended proportions and a rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and smooth with softened corners, producing superellipse-like bowls and squared apertures rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, and many joins resolve into tight radiused corners, giving a crisp, machined feel. The rhythm is steady and geometric, with compact counters in letters like e, a, and s, and figures that follow the same rounded-square logic for consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short display copy where its slant and geometric punch can carry the composition. It also fits technology and automotive-themed branding, sports graphics, and packaging or posters that benefit from a bold, modern voice. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone reads contemporary and engineered—fast, technical, and purpose-built. Its oblique stance and squared-round geometry evoke motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and modern product branding where a sense of motion and precision is desirable.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric, rounded-rectangular skeleton with an energetic oblique stance, creating a modern display sans that feels fast and industrial while staying clean and systematic.
The italic angle is visually assertive, and the wide set helps keep letterforms open despite the dense stroke weight. Curves tend to flatten into straight segments before rounding at corners, which reinforces a synthetic, modular personality in both caps and lowercase.
