A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large counters, built from confidently rounded curves and straight-sided strokes. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with a subtly softened, contemporary feel rather than sharp industrial edges. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, round o-forms, and sturdy, utilitarian joins; punctuation and numerals follow the same solid, high-impact construction. Overall spacing reads open and stable at display sizes, supporting clear silhouette recognition despite the dense stroke weight.
Best suited for display typography where impact and quick readability matter—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold UI moments like section headers or navigation. It can work in short text blocks at larger sizes, but the dense weight makes it most effective when used sparingly.
The tone is bold and approachable, projecting a straightforward, contemporary voice with a sporty, headline-ready energy. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly and accessible while still feeling assertive and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a clean, modern geometric voice, balancing assertiveness with friendly rounded forms. It aims for reliable, high-visibility typography that feels contemporary and broadly usable across branding and promotional contexts.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and generous interior shapes, which helps maintain legibility in short bursts and large sizes. The numerals appear built for consistency and impact, matching the letterforms’ wide stance and round construction.
