A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly simplified construction. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and generous rounding on curved forms, giving counters an oval, slightly compressed feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while diagonals and joins (as in K, R, V, W, X) stay sturdy and angular without becoming sharp. The lowercase is compact and robust with single-storey forms (notably a and g), short-to-moderate extenders, and a solid, even color that holds together in dense settings. Numerals are wide and weighty, matching the letters with large bowls and minimal interior space.
Best suited to large sizes where its wide stance and heavy strokes can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, display branding, packaging, and wayfinding. It can work for short UI labels or badges when strong emphasis is needed, but its tight counters and dense color make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and high-energy, balancing a sporty, headline-driven punch with approachable rounded geometry. Its mass and width read as bold and immediate rather than refined, lending a contemporary, utilitarian confidence that feels at home in attention-grabbing contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver immediate, high-impact readability with a modern geometric voice. Its rounded, simplified forms suggest an intention to feel contemporary and friendly while still projecting strength for bold display typography.
The design maintains a steady rhythm and strong horizontal presence, with wide bowls (O, Q, 8) and compact apertures (S, e, 3) that emphasize density. Curves are emphasized over sharp detail, creating a cohesive, poster-like texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
