A slanted geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and softened corners, producing squarish counters and a streamlined, engineered silhouette. Strokes are uniformly heavy with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be cut cleanly rather than tapered, reinforcing a mechanical rhythm. The shapes are extended horizontally, with open apertures and generous interior space that keep the bold forms from clogging. Numerals and capitals follow the same superelliptical logic, with oval-squared bowls and crisp diagonals that read firmly at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where impact and speed are desirable—headlines, branding marks, product packaging, and interface or dashboard labeling. It also works well for short technical callouts, esports/sports identity systems, and promotional graphics that benefit from a bold, geometric oblique.
The overall tone feels futuristic and performance-oriented, like UI labeling on hardware, motorsport graphics, or sci‑fi interfaces. Its oblique stance adds momentum and assertiveness, while the rounded corners keep the voice approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-energy sans with a distinct rounded-rect geometry, combining strong presence with clean, manufacturable shapes. Its consistent construction suggests an intention to look modern and technical while remaining legible through open counters and simple stroke logic.
The design’s identity comes from the consistent use of rounded corners and squared curves across both uppercase and lowercase, giving text a cohesive, modular texture. In longer lines, the combination of strong weight and slant creates a forward-leaning cadence that favors short phrases and headings over dense body copy.
