A heavy, extended oblique sans with a monoline feel and pronounced superelliptic geometry. Most forms are built from rounded-rectangle bowls and softened corners, producing squared counters in letters like O, D, P, and Q. Terminals tend to be clean and clipped, with diagonal cuts appearing in several glyphs, reinforcing the forward-leaning motion. The rhythm is wide and open, with sturdy horizontal strokes, compact apertures, and consistent stroke weight across curves and straights. Numerals follow the same rounded-square construction, with a distinctive, angular 2 and a stacked, segmented feel in 3 and 5.
Best suited to display roles where width and slant can amplify impact—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, esports/sports identities, and tech or automotive-style branding. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a dynamic, engineered voice is desired, but its extended proportions make it less ideal for dense body text.
The overall tone reads contemporary and performance-driven, combining a streamlined sci‑fi sensibility with the directness of sporty display lettering. Its forward slant and broad stance create an impression of speed and engineered precision, while the rounded-square shaping keeps it approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern voice through extended proportions, an oblique axis, and rounded-square construction. By keeping strokes uniform and corners softened, it aims for a clean, manufactured look that stays legible while signaling motion and futurism.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive design language, with rounded-square bowls and simplified joins that prioritize clarity at larger sizes. Dots and small details (like i/j tittles) are minimal and geometric, matching the font’s controlled, modular construction.
