This typeface is a slanted, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes stay solid and even, with softly squared terminals and generous corner rounding that keeps the forms sturdy rather than delicate. Counters are broad and open in letters like O, D, and P, while curves tend to resolve into flatter arcs and straight segments for a crisp, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with compact lowercase shapes and a clear, simplified skeleton.
It performs best in display roles where the oblique stance and rounded-square geometry can read as intentional: headlines, brand marks, sports and fitness graphics, event posters, and bold product packaging. It can also serve as a strong UI or signage accent font where a modern, energetic voice is desired.
The slant and squared-round geometry give the face a fast, sporty tone with a contemporary, technical edge. It feels assertive and utilitarian, projecting momentum and confidence without becoming aggressive or sharp.
The design appears intended to combine the efficiency of a geometric sans with softened, superelliptical rounding, creating a clean industrial look that still feels approachable. Its built-in slant suggests a focus on speed, action, and contemporary branding impact.
Distinctive details include a single-storey "a" with a clean, open bowl, a "Q" with a short angled tail, and numerals that echo the same rounded-rectangular logic (notably 0, 2, and 3). Diagonals on A, K, V, W, X, and Y read strongly, reinforcing the italic motion and adding a dynamic texture in headlines.
