A compact, forward-leaning sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and mostly straight-sided counters. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with subtly squared curves in letters like C, O, and S, creating a superelliptical, “soft box” silhouette. Terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than tapered, and many joins are simplified, producing a sturdy, engineered texture. The overall rhythm is tight and upright in construction despite the slant, with slightly varied glyph widths that keep word shapes lively.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where impact and tone matter more than long-form readability: headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and identity systems with a technical or athletic edge. It also works well for labels, UI hero text, and prominent alphanumeric elements where the squared-rounded forms can reinforce an engineered aesthetic.
The font reads as energetic and utilitarian, blending a sporty, techno feel with a slightly retro display flavor. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, while the compact proportions and angled stance push it toward speed, equipment labeling, and contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to modernize geometric sans ideas using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction and a forward slant to communicate motion. It prioritizes a bold, compact footprint and a cohesive “soft-tech” geometry that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
The uppercase forms appear more squared and architectural, while the lowercase introduces more distinctive, simplified shapes (notably in a, g, and y) that emphasize the font’s custom, display-oriented personality. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic and remain visually dense, supporting strong presence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
