A heavy, wide sans with rounded geometry and soft corner treatment that keeps the color dense without feeling harsh. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls, paired with straight strokes that end in subtly softened terminals. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and proportions favor broad letterforms with stable verticals and even, consistent stroke presence. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and simple, direct construction across the set.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display copy where width and weight can be used as a strong graphic element. It fits branding, packaging, posters, and signage that benefit from a friendly, modern sans with substantial presence.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: contemporary, friendly, and straightforward. Its wide stance and rounded shaping suggest a sporty, confident voice that reads as upbeat rather than technical or formal.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, approachable feel—combining wide proportions and rounded construction to create bold, readable shapes that hold up well in prominent, attention-grabbing contexts.
The numerals share the same wide, rounded logic, with clear shapes and prominent curves (especially 2, 3, 5, and 8). In text, the font maintains a strong, uniform rhythm and high impact, creating a dark typographic texture that suits display sizes while remaining legible thanks to open interiors.
