A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a low-contrast, monoline feel. Curves are built from clean, circular/elliptical shapes, while corners and joins are firmly squared off, creating a crisp, blocky silhouette. Apertures and counters run relatively compact at this weight, and overall spacing reads straightforward and sturdy, prioritizing mass and clarity over delicacy.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, bold branding, packaging, and short callouts. It can also work for signage and display settings where sturdy forms and quick recognition are prioritized over extended reading comfort.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence. Its broad stance and simplified forms feel approachable rather than harsh, giving it a confident, sporty energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines geometric roundness with strong, squared structure. It aims to deliver a modern, confident look that stays legible and stable in big, bold applications.
Round letters like O/C/G lean strongly toward near-circular construction, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) form solid wedges that reinforce the font’s punchy rhythm. Numerals are similarly weighty and uncomplicated, designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
