A heavy, expanded sans with sculpted stroke modulation and a slightly softened, carved look. The forms are wide and low in feel, with generous counters and sturdy stems that flare subtly into bracket-like joins. Curves show noticeable thick–thin transitions, especially in round letters and the numerals, giving the design a chiseled, dimensional rhythm rather than a purely monoline build. Terminals tend to finish cleanly with minimal rounding, and the overall spacing reads open enough for display while maintaining a dense, powerful silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, branding, and packaging that needs a strong shelf presence. The wide stance and pronounced stroke shaping also work well for short phrases, logos, and signage where letterforms can be given room to breathe.
The tone is assertive and energetic, combining a contemporary, engineered feel with a hint of retro signage weight. Its wide proportions and contrasted strokes create a loud, confident voice that suggests strength and momentum rather than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence through width and weight, while using controlled contrast and subtly bracketed transitions to keep large text lively and distinctive. It balances a clean sans structure with expressive shaping to feel more crafted than purely geometric.
Uppercase shapes read particularly broad and stable, while lowercase retains clear differentiation and sturdy bowls. The figures carry the same flared, contrasted construction, helping numerals stand out in headlines and large UI/graphic contexts.
