A heavy, wide sans with geometric construction and rounded-corner terminals. Curves are smooth and near-circular in forms like O, C, and G, while straight strokes stay broad and even, producing a strong, stable color on the line. Counters are generously open for a weight this dense, and joins are clean and mostly square, giving letters a solid, engineered feel. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, with compact, functional details and consistently thick strokes across the set.
Best suited for display applications where impact and clarity matter: bold headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and brand marks that benefit from a wide, sturdy silhouette. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, labels, UI headers) where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. Its wide stance and dense strokes read as energetic and attention-grabbing, suggesting a sporty, headline-forward personality rather than a delicate or editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, modern sans for prominent messaging, balancing geometric simplicity with rounded shaping to keep the tone approachable. Its proportions prioritize presence and readability at large sizes, making it a natural choice for branding and attention-focused layouts.
In text, the face maintains strong horizontal presence and a uniform rhythm, with broad letterforms and relatively short extenders that keep lines visually compact. The numerals match the alphabet’s geometry and weight, reading clearly and with a similarly robust footprint.
