A heavy oblique sans with squared-round construction and generously rounded corners that keep the forms smooth while still feeling engineered. Strokes are low-contrast with mostly flat, slightly angled terminals, and curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls rather than perfect circles. Uppercase shapes are broad and steady, while lowercase is compact with tight apertures and firm shoulders, creating a dense, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with clear, chunky silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for short, prominent settings where its slanted, squared-round silhouettes can carry a strong voice—sports identities, motorsport-themed graphics, product marks, and punchy editorial headlines. It can also work for UI labels and dashboards where a technical, forward-moving tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and performance-oriented, combining a streamlined, technical feel with a hint of retro racing and sci‑fi UI styling. The slant and squared curves add urgency and motion, while the rounded corners keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern sans with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—prioritizing impact, motion, and a clean industrial feel while maintaining approachable rounded edges.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 read as rounded rectangles, and diagonals in forms like K, V, W, X, and Y are strong visual anchors that emphasize speed. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the face feel cohesive in continuous text.
