A sharply slanted sans with a superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled. Strokes are predominantly monoline but with noticeable modulation at curves and joints, creating a refined, engineered contrast without breaking the smooth rhythm. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and squared-off shoulders, giving letters a narrow, aerodynamic stance. Figures and capitals echo the same rounded-corner geometry, with clear, open counters and consistently rounded interior corners.
Best suited to display settings where its slanted, engineered geometry can read clearly—logos, product branding, tech interfaces, sports or automotive themes, and punchy headlines. It can work for short UI labels or dashboards when set with generous tracking, but its tight apertures and assertive italic angle make it more comfortable in titles than long-form text.
The overall tone is contemporary and forward-looking, with a speed-oriented, technical flavor. Its disciplined geometry and italic momentum suggest performance, precision, and a slightly sci‑fi edge rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a fast, italicized voice—combining clean sans construction with a streamlined, performance-driven silhouette.
Many glyphs emphasize rounded-corner rectangles over pure circles, which keeps the texture orderly and grid-like even in running text. The slant is strong and consistent, and the narrow internal spacing can create a dense, cohesive word shape at larger sizes.
