A heavy, wide display face with low-contrast strokes and subtly flared stroke endings that widen at terminals. The forms are built from broad curves and straight segments with softened joins, producing open counters and a steady horizontal rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel expansive and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same broad set and rounded construction; punctuation-like details (such as dots) read as clean, circular marks. Numerals are similarly wide and sturdy, with simple, legible silhouettes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display typography where width and weight are advantages: headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for packaging and sports or tech-forward identities where a strong, modern tone is desired, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and wide rhythm are most visible.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a slightly engineered feel that reads as energetic rather than delicate. Its broad stance and flared finishing give it a strong, headline-forward presence that can suggest speed, strength, and modern utility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary, engineered silhouette—combining broad proportions, sturdy low-contrast strokes, and subtly flared endings to create a distinctive display voice that stays legible and controlled.
In the samples, the wide proportions and open apertures help maintain clarity at large sizes, while the heavy weight creates strong color and impact. The subtle flaring at ends adds a distinctive signature without tipping into high-contrast elegance, keeping the texture compact and punchy.
