A slanted, extended sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Counters and bowls tend toward squarish superellipse shapes, with softened corners and clean, open apertures. Terminals are mostly blunt and rounded, and the overall rhythm is horizontally expansive, giving letters a stretched, speed-oriented profile. Numerals follow the same rounded-box logic, with simplified, linear joins and consistent stroke width.
Well suited to display typography where a futuristic, streamlined voice is desired—headlines, logos, product identities, and technology or automotive-themed graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when set at comfortable sizes and with sufficient spacing to preserve clarity.
The typeface conveys a contemporary, engineered tone—clean, forward-leaning, and slightly sporty. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly while the strong slant and wide proportions suggest motion and modern technology.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with an oblique, speed-driven stance, producing a modern display sans that feels engineered and distinctive while remaining clean and legible at larger sizes.
Diagonal strokes are crisp and consistent, and many forms emphasize squared-off curves over circular ones, creating a distinctive hybrid of rounded and angular. The lowercase maintains a streamlined, single-storey feel where applicable, and the set reads best when allowed some horizontal space.
