A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions, large counters, and crisp, clean edges. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with a subtle squarish tension, while straight strokes stay firm and even, creating strong, poster-like silhouettes. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, joins are tight, and overall spacing feels compact for the weight, keeping words dense and impactful. Numerals and capitals have a sturdy, simplified construction that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and short callouts where a bold, compact word shape is desirable. It can also work for signage and labels that need quick, high-impact readability, while extended paragraphs may feel visually heavy.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with a classic, mid-century display feel that leans sporty and promotional. Its chunky forms and high visual mass convey confidence and immediacy, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a robust display sans that maximizes impact through simplified geometry, compact spacing, and strong silhouettes. It prioritizes clear, emphatic letterforms for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Round letters like O/C/G/Q show consistent curvature and generous interior space, helping legibility despite the dense stroke weight. Lowercase shapes remain straightforward and sturdy, with minimal modulation and a pragmatic, signage-like rhythm across text.
