A geometric sans with a pronounced oblique slant and a squared, superellipse construction. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with rounded corners and flattened curves that give bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are mostly cut cleanly with minimal taper, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, emphasizing horizontals and crisp corner transitions. Numerals and capitals follow the same boxy, rounded logic, producing a consistent, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its strong, streamlined shapes can carry a brand voice—sports identities, automotive or industrial themes, tech and gaming graphics, and punchy poster headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or dashboard-style treatments where a futuristic, engineered tone is desired.
The tone is contemporary and performance-driven, evoking motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and modern tech branding. Its forward slant and squared rounding feel assertive and fast, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to blend a modern, engineered geometry with an energetic slant, producing a sturdy, high-impact sans that reads like a system of rounded rectangles. The goal seems to be a distinctive, speed-oriented voice that stays consistent across letters and numerals for branding and display typography.
Curves are deliberately “squared off,” and many forms rely on rounded corners instead of true circular arcs, creating a cohesive, modular look. The oblique stance is consistent across cases and figures, helping headlines read as energetic blocks while retaining clear character separation.
