A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly clean and squared, giving a dense, block-like silhouette. Curves are built from clear circular and elliptical shapes (notably in O, Q, and 8), while joins stay firm and simplified. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a large, rounded bowl structure, and short extenders relative to the overall weight, maintaining an even, sturdy rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short bursts of text where bold emphasis is desired. It works well for branding systems, packaging, event graphics, and large-format signage that benefits from thick strokes and robust shapes. For long passages, it will be most effective when used with generous sizing and spacing to preserve internal clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh, balancing punchy impact with a contemporary, friendly feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through broad proportions and simplified geometric construction, while keeping a welcoming tone via rounded forms. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke mass for clear, attention-grabbing display use.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight interior spaces make the forms read as solid and emphatic, favoring headline clarity over delicate detail. The numerals are similarly bold and open in silhouette, with simple construction that matches the uppercase’s strong, geometric voice.
