A heavy, wide sans with rounded curves and firm, squared terminals that create a chunky, block-forward silhouette. Curves are smoothly drawn and generously filled, with consistent stroke weight and large counters that keep shapes open despite the mass. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation through simple, single-storey-style construction and straightforward joins. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, geometric rhythm, producing a uniform, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, hero text, branding lockups, and packaging. It also fits sports and promotional graphics where a sturdy, energetic voice is helpful. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing due to its mass and width.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, reading as contemporary and approachable rather than formal. Its wide stance and thick strokes project confidence and energy, making it feel suited to bold statements and attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean, contemporary sans construction. By combining wide proportions with rounded geometry and solid terminals, it aims to feel both strong and friendly, maintaining clarity while emphasizing bold presence.
In paragraphs and pangram-style lines, the dense weight creates a strong typographic “wall,” while the open apertures and clean curves help preserve legibility at display sizes. The wide proportions noticeably increase line length and visual presence, emphasizing headlines and short phrases over long-form reading.
