A heavy, wide sans with compact counters and a low-contrast, monoline construction. Forms lean toward squared geometry with softened corners: bowls are broadly rounded but often flattened on the top or bottom, and terminals are crisp and horizontal. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, with sturdy stems, broad shoulders, and tight internal space that keeps color very dark at text sizes. Lowercase follows a simplified, robust build (single-storey a and g), and figures are wide and stable with flat bases and broad curves.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact and clarity are priorities, such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging. It can also work for sporty or industrial branding systems and short UI labels where a strong, compact voice is desired, but it will dominate in longer passages.
The tone is confident and forceful, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary and athletic. Its blocky width and compact counters give it a strong display presence that feels engineered and performance-oriented rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a broad, stable stance and simplified geometric structure. Its wide proportions and compact counters suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography that remains straightforward and legible at a glance.
Diagonal letters (A, V, W, X, Y) use sharp joins and wide stances, reinforcing a sturdy, sign-like footprint. Round letters (O, Q, e, o) appear slightly squashed horizontally, emphasizing width and weight over refinement. In longer text the texture becomes very bold and continuous, favoring impact over nuance.
