This typeface is an oblique sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: round forms resolve into rounded-rectangle counters, and corners are consistently softened rather than circular. Strokes are monolinear with a slightly engineered feel, using flat terminals and crisp joins that keep the silhouettes clean. Proportions favor a large x-height and compact apertures, while the overall slant adds forward motion and a uniform rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The figures and uppercase share the same squared-curve language, producing a cohesive, modular texture in lines of text.
It performs best in short-to-medium settings where its slanted, squared forms can carry personality—headlines, logos, packaging, titles, and promotional graphics. It also suits interface labels and product naming where a compact, high-impact oblique sans is helpful, especially in tech or sport-adjacent contexts.
The overall tone reads fast, technical, and utilitarian—like branding for performance gear, motorsport, or digital interfaces. The squared curves and oblique stance create a sense of motion and precision, leaning more “engineered” than “friendly,” while still avoiding harshness through rounded corners.
The design appears intended to merge modern sans legibility with a distinctive superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry, creating a recognizable voice without relying on decorative details. The consistent oblique angle and streamlined terminals suggest an emphasis on speed, contemporary styling, and strong brand presence.
The lowercase single-storey forms and the boxy counters in letters like o/e/p reinforce a contemporary, display-leaning character. Wide, stable bowls and consistent rounding give the font a strong silhouette at larger sizes, while the tight, angular openings can look denser in extended text.
