A condensed, oblique sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical, squared-off feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation. Proportions are tall and tightly spaced, with compact apertures and a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm that stays uniform across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its condensed, angled forms can create momentum—headlines, product marks, event graphics, and tech or sports-themed branding. It can also work for UI labels and dashboard-style typography when a streamlined, geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone feels fast, engineered, and contemporary, evoking motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding. Its controlled geometry and steady slant read as purposeful and efficient rather than casual or expressive.
The design appears intended to merge a modern oblique sans with superelliptical geometry, prioritizing compact width, consistent rhythm, and a clean, high-speed aesthetic for contemporary display use.
Distinctive squared bowls and rounded corners are especially noticeable in characters like O, Q, 0, and 8, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s speed-oriented stance. Numerals match the letterforms closely in width and curvature, supporting cohesive mixed alphanumeric settings.
