A heavy, expanded sans with geometric construction and rounded internal curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad shoulders and smooth, circular bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while joins and curves stay soft, producing a compact, sturdy silhouette. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, and lowercase shows a single-storey “a” with a straightforward, contemporary build and minimal modulation.
Best suited for display typography where impact is needed: headlines, posters, large UI banners, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. Its wide footprint and heavy color make it effective for short phrases, signage, and attention-grabbing editorial or promotional settings.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, balancing muscular weight with approachable roundness. It feels contemporary and energetic rather than formal, with a straightforward clarity that reads as confident and promotional.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with clean, geometric forms—combining high visual weight and broad proportions with open counters for readability. It aims to feel modern and versatile while staying unmistakably bold and attention-oriented.
The design maintains strong legibility through generous apertures (notably in C, S, e, and 2/3) and clear separation of shapes at display sizes. Numerals follow the same wide, rounded logic, with smooth curves and sturdy horizontals that keep them consistent with the letters.
