A heavy, wide sans with geometric construction and rounded curves that read as clean and contemporary. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and minimal modulation, producing solid, even color in text. Many forms show slightly squared shoulders and terminals (notably in E/F/T and the diagonals of K/V/W/X/Y), while round letters like C/O/Q keep broad, open counters. Lowercase has a tall x-height and simple, single-storey shapes (a, g) with sturdy bowls and short, strong arms; punctuation dots appear round and prominent.
Best suited for headlines, posters, short marketing copy, and prominent UI or signage where high impact and quick recognition matter. The tall lowercase and large counters help maintain clarity in short bursts of text, while the dense weight makes it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assured, with a friendly, accessible warmth from the rounded geometry. Its width and mass create a loud, attention-grabbing voice that feels modern and energetic, suited to messaging that wants immediacy and impact rather than subtlety.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual presence with simple geometric letterforms that remain readable under heavy weight. The combination of wide proportions, large internal space, and minimal detailing suggests an intention toward versatile display typography for contemporary branding and advertising.
Spacing appears generous and stable at display sizes, and the wide proportions help preserve letter identity under heavy weight. Numerals are similarly robust, with rounded bowls in 6/8/9 and angular, forward-leaning cuts in 2/3/5 that add a sporty edge.
