A heavy, geometric sans with compact, blocky proportions and strongly simplified shapes. Curves are broad and controlled, with rounded bowls that meet crisply cut terminals, creating a slightly squared-off feel in letters like C, G, and S. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, boosting density and punch; the lowercase is built around a tall x-height with short extenders and sturdy verticals. The overall rhythm is even and stable, with consistent stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and a clear, poster-forward silhouette.
Best suited to high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding systems that need strong presence. It also fits packaging and sports or entertainment graphics where a dense, sturdy texture and clear silhouettes are desirable.
The tone is confident and energetic, with a no-nonsense solidity that reads as contemporary and utilitarian. Its weight and compact forms add urgency and impact, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a straightforward geometric voice, prioritizing bold readability and a cohesive, modern texture across the full alphanumeric set.
At larger sizes the letterforms feel clean and architectural; in longer text the tight counters and compact joins can make the texture quite dark, especially in lowercase clusters. Numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction and hold their shape well in display settings.
