A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth, rounded geometry that stays crisp at the joins. Counters are relatively small (notably in B, e, a, and 8), creating a dense, high-ink silhouette, while terminals remain clean and largely horizontal or vertical. The uppercase set reads sturdy and squared-off, and the lowercase follows a simple, single-storey construction with straightforward bowls and shoulders; overall spacing feels generous enough to keep the weight from clogging, but the texture remains intentionally dense.
Best suited for large-scale applications where mass and presence are assets—headlines, posters, outdoor or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It also works well for packaging and social graphics that need a strong, contemporary voice, while extended body text may feel heavy due to the dense counters and weight.
The tone is bold and assertive with a friendly, modern edge. Its wide, solid forms suggest strength and reliability, with a sporty, headline-forward energy rather than a delicate or editorial feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through sturdy geometry, wide stance, and uniform stroke color. It prioritizes clear, punchy shapes that hold up in attention-grabbing settings and maintain a consistent, contemporary texture across letters and numerals.
The figures are chunky and display-oriented, with round forms (0, 8, 9) leaning strongly geometric and angular cuts showing up in diagonals like V, W, X, and Y. The overall rhythm is stable and even, favoring impact and immediacy over fine detail.
