A heavy, wide sans with compact internal counters and strongly rounded outer curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing a solid, block-like silhouette. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy structure with simple, open shapes, while the numerals are broad and weighty with tight apertures and smooth curvature. Overall spacing and forms favor mass and stability, making the text appear dense and commanding at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where maximum impact and presence are needed. It will also work well for sports, event, and promotional graphics, as well as short UI or social-media statements where bold legibility and a strong voice matter more than long-form comfort.
The tone is bold and forceful with a contemporary, utilitarian feel. Its broad stance and compact counters give it an energetic, competitive character that reads as confident and no-nonsense rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a wide footprint and sturdy, simplified forms. It prioritizes immediate readability and a strong graphic silhouette, aiming for a contemporary, energetic look that stays clean and consistent across letters and numbers.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a strong circular feel while remaining visually flattened by the width and heavy weight. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are thick and emphatic, and the overall rhythm emphasizes big shapes and minimal detail, which helps it hold together under high-impact settings.
