A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact counters that keep color dense on the page. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while straight strokes end in clean, square terminals for a crisp, manufactured feel. The lowercase uses single-storey forms where expected, with short extenders and sturdy, simplified construction that prioritizes solidity over delicacy. Numerals are similarly robust, with rounded shapes and uniform stroke weight that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence is needed, such as headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and wayfinding. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when a clear, emphatic tone is desired, especially where a compact, high-contrast layout needs sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a straightforward, contemporary voice. Its big shapes and rounded geometry give it a friendly, sporty energy that reads as confident and utilitarian rather than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simple geometric construction and minimal stylistic noise. It aims for immediate readability and a contemporary, no-nonsense personality that holds up in large sizes and bold messaging.
At text sizes the dense bowls and tight apertures can create a strong, dark texture, while at display sizes the clean geometry and broad letterforms feel stable and highly legible. The rhythm is even and repetitive in a way that emphasizes impact and consistency.
