A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact apertures. Curves are smooth and circular in the bowls (O, C, D), while many terminals and joins show angled cuts that create a slightly technical, machined feel. Stroke endings often look subtly notched or wedge-trimmed, producing ink-trap-like corners in places (notably in S and several lowercase forms). Counters are tight and letterforms are dense, giving the face a dark, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is single-storey for a and g, with short, sturdy stems and minimal detailing.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense counters and wedge-cut details can read clearly: headlines, posters, wordmarks, sports identities, product packaging, and signage. It can work for short UI labels or navigation items when tracking is opened slightly, but it is primarily a display voice rather than a long-text workhorse.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its chunky construction and clipped terminals evoke sports branding, industrial labeling, and modern tech graphics more than editorial or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly geometric base, reinforced by angular cuts that add grip and modernity. The combination of rounded bowls and trimmed terminals suggests a focus on bold branding and attention-catching titles.
The numerals follow the same dense, rounded geometry, with strong horizontals and compact internal spaces. The rhythm is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the wide set encourages bold, stable word shapes at display sizes.
