A slanted sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse geometry, with soft corners and long, straight-ish stems. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and counters (notably in O/Q and numerals), giving a controlled, engineered rhythm. Strokes read mostly even but with noticeable modulation in places—especially at joins and terminals—creating a crisp, slightly calligraphic tension despite the geometric construction. Terminals are clean and often cut at an angle, with open apertures and compact, forward-leaning proportions that keep word shapes narrow and fast.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its streamlined geometry can carry personality. It also fits interface labels, dashboards, and product/tech packaging where a precise, forward-leaning sans helps suggest speed and modernity. For longer paragraphs it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and spacing.
The overall tone feels aerodynamic and modern, with a subtle retro-tech flavor reminiscent of instrument panels, sci‑fi titles, and motorsport graphics. Its slant and squared-round forms convey motion and precision more than friendliness, projecting an efficient, contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with an energetic slant, producing a sans that signals motion and technical polish. It prioritizes a distinctive, cohesive silhouette and strong word-shape rhythm for display and branding contexts.
The typeface relies on consistent rounded-corner logic across letters and numbers, producing strong coherence in mixed-case settings. Distinctive forms like the angular V/W/X and the squared, rounded numerals emphasize a constructed, display-oriented personality while remaining readable at larger text sizes.
