A compact, oblique sans with monoline strokes and a consistent forward slant. Shapes lean on rounded-rectangle construction: corners are softened, curves feel squared-off rather than fully circular, and terminals are clean and unadorned. Proportions are narrow with tight, efficient counters; rounds like O/0 read as superelliptical, while straight-sided letters keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is even and tidy, with slight width variation between glyphs that helps keep word shapes lively without breaking uniformity.
Well-suited for branding systems that want a modern, motion-forward look, especially in sports, automotive, tech, or active-lifestyle contexts. It performs strongly in headlines, signage, posters, and UI labels where compact width and a crisp, rounded-technical texture help conserve space while staying legible.
The tone is contemporary and kinetic, suggesting speed and precision. Rounded corners soften the technical feel, keeping it approachable while still reading as purposeful and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to blend a technical, engineered structure with softened superelliptical rounding, creating a fast-looking oblique sans that feels both functional and contemporary. The compact proportions and clean terminals emphasize efficiency and modernity.
The numerals follow the same squared-round logic, producing sturdy figures that match the text color well. Uppercase forms are assertive and condensed, while lowercase stays clear and utilitarian, maintaining a coherent, streamlined voice across settings.
