A heavy, crisp sans with clear contrast between thick verticals and lighter connecting strokes. Letterforms lean geometric and compact, with squared terminals, firm horizontals, and a generally tight, efficient footprint. Curves are smoothly drawn but often meet stems with slightly sharpened joins, giving the overall texture a taut, engineered feel. Counters stay relatively open in forms like O, e, and a, while shapes such as G and S show controlled, sculpted thinning that reinforces the contrasted rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging where a strong silhouette and compact rhythm help text hold attention. It can also work for short UI labels or signage at larger sizes, where its crisp terminals and open counters support quick recognition.
The font reads assertive and contemporary, projecting strength and clarity without feeling ornate. Its compact geometry and decisive stroke modulation create a sporty, institutional tone that suits bold statements and high-visibility messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with a contrasted stroke voice—combining geometric construction with subtle modulation to add energy and hierarchy in display settings.
Numerals are sturdy and display-oriented, with noticeable personality in the curved figures (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) and a clean, straightforward 1. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, while lowercase maintains a pragmatic, legible structure with minimal embellishment, keeping the overall color dense and impactful.
