A heavy, compact sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls with softened corners, while joins and terminals stay blunt and decisive. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, giving letters like O, B, and e a dense, ink-heavy look, and the overall rhythm feels steady and uniform. The lowercase is built on a tall x-height with simple, robust shapes; the dot on i/j is a rounded rectangle, and the numerals share the same squared, softened geometry for a consistent texture in headlines.
Best suited to large-scale applications where strong silhouette and coverage are an asset: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding text, and bold packaging statements. It also fits logos and sports or team-style branding where an assertive, blocky sans is desired.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense voice with a friendly edge—more bold signage and sports branding than delicate editorial typography. Its rounded corners and superelliptical curves keep the tone approachable, while the mass and width add urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean sans structure, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay modern and approachable. Its proportions and tight counters prioritize strong presence and legibility from a distance over delicate detail.
In the sample text, the large dark silhouettes create strong word shapes and a solid “poster” color on the page. The compact apertures and narrow internal spaces can cause characters to feel dense at smaller sizes, but they reinforce the font’s punchy headline personality.
