A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with rounded curves paired to flat, squared terminals, creating a sturdy, engineered silhouette. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and minimal ascenders/descenders, while uppercase forms stay wide and stable with simplified joins and generous internal space. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, producing a dense, poster-ready texture in text.
Best used for headlines, large-format typography, and brand marks where maximum presence is needed. It works well on posters, packaging, sports and fitness graphics, and bold UI/hero text where strong shapes and clear counters help maintain legibility at a range of display sizes.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a contemporary, athletic feel. Its smooth curves keep it approachable, while the weight and width project confidence and immediacy—well suited to attention-grabbing, no-nonsense messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while remaining highly legible and compact in dense settings.
Round letters like O/C/G show clean, circular construction; diagonals in K/V/W/X/Y are sturdy and slightly softened by the overall rounding. The numerals follow the same robust geometry, with clear, uncomplicated shapes that hold up at display sizes.
