A slanted, heavy sans with a superelliptical construction: curves read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are thick and steady with subtle modulation, and terminals are predominantly blunt with gentle rounding that keeps counters open. The uppercase is compact and engineered, while the lowercase uses single‑storey forms (notably a and g) with broad bowls and short, sturdy joins. Numerals follow the same squared‑round logic, producing a cohesive, blocky rhythm that stays legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logo wordmarks, and brand systems that want a contemporary, aerodynamic look. It also fits sports and automotive-style messaging, game or tech UI titling, and poster typography where the bold, slanted forms can project speed and impact.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and performance-oriented, combining a technical, industrial feel with friendly rounding. Its oblique stance adds urgency and motion, making the texture feel energetic and confident rather than formal.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with a bold oblique stance for high-impact communication. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent superelliptical logic to deliver a cohesive, modern voice across letters and numerals.
Distinctive silhouettes come from the squared curves in letters like C, G, O, and S, and from the squared, open counters in rounded forms. The spacing appears fairly generous for a heavy face, helping prevent dark clumping in longer lines while preserving a strong, graphic presence.
