This typeface presents an expanded, geometric sans structure with smooth, rounded bowls and crisply cut terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads almost like a built-in inline/flare, especially visible in C, S, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 where the outer curves carry heavier weight than the inner sweeps. Curves are clean and elliptical, while joins and diagonals (A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) are sharpened into pointed intersections rather than softened. Counters are generous and open, and the overall rhythm is steady and engineered, with a distinctly horizontal emphasis due to the broad set width.
It performs best in short to medium-length settings where its expanded proportions and contrast can read as intentional design—headlines, logos, product marks, posters, and promotional graphics. It can also work for large UI or signage moments where a futuristic, performance-centric voice is desired, but will be less suited to long-form text due to its strong stylization and width.
The overall tone feels modern and performance-oriented, combining a sleek, engineered geometry with an assertive, display-forward presence. The high-contrast modulation and sharp joints add a slightly sci‑fi and motorsport flavor, giving headlines a sense of speed and precision.
The design appears intended to merge geometric sans clarity with a dynamic, speed-informed silhouette. By combining wide proportions, sharp junctions, and contrast that emphasizes the outer contours, it aims to deliver a distinctive, contemporary display voice that remains clean and legible at larger sizes.
Several glyphs feature distinctive, stylized curvature: the S and numerals use extended, ribbon-like curves, while the Q includes a clear tail accent. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and relatively simple, utilitarian constructions that keep texture even in dense lines.
