A slanted geometric sans with broad proportions and compact inner counters. Strokes stay largely uniform with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and numerals, and corners tend to soften rather than come to sharp points. Terminals are mostly straight or gently angled, reinforcing a streamlined, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, giving dense, efficient word shapes, while the caps remain wide and stable with minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, posters, and prominent UI labels where its slanted stance and broad shapes can carry momentum. It can also work for short bursts of copy—taglines, product names, and packaging callouts—where clarity and impact matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is fast, confident, and contemporary, with an athletic, forward-leaning energy. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, but the strong footprint and tight apertures make it feel purposeful and performance-oriented rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, speed-oriented sans that combines geometric construction with softened superellipse curves. Its tall lowercase and sturdy figures suggest an emphasis on compact, impactful typography that remains clean and consistent across display and interface-like contexts.
Round letters like O/Q and 0 read as squared-off ovals, creating a consistent superellipse rhythm across both letters and figures. The numeral set appears compact and sturdy, with simple, no-nonsense forms that match the alphabet’s mechanical clarity. In the sample text, the slant and width create a strong horizontal flow and a pronounced emphasis in headlines.
