A heavy, geometric sans with compact counters and broad, rounded curves that read as sturdy and highly legible at display sizes. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving letters a cut-from-solid feel. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and simplified construction, with rounded bowls and short apertures that keep the texture dense. Numerals are equally robust and open, matching the overall blocky, modern rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and identity work where a strong, modern presence is needed. It works well in branding, packaging, and signage thanks to its dense weight and clean geometry, and it can add impact to short subheads and callouts.
The overall tone is bold and straightforward, with a friendly, contemporary energy. Its rounded geometry and dense weight lend it a sporty, poster-like confidence without feeling sharp or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean, geometric voice, prioritizing bold readability and a contemporary, approachable character. The simplified forms and sturdy proportions suggest an emphasis on branding and display settings over delicate text work.
The face maintains a strong, even color across lines of text, producing a compact typographic texture. Rounded forms like O/C/G and the bowls in b/d/p/q are prominent, while diagonals and joins are kept simple to preserve clarity at large sizes.
