A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions, smooth curves, and blunt terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, even texture in text. Round letters like O/C/G are close to circular with generous bowl weight, while straight-sided forms (E/F/L/T) keep crisp, squared ends and stable horizontals. The lowercase is simple and compact, with single-storey a and g and a short-shouldered r, giving word shapes a clean, contemporary rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display text where a strong, readable silhouette is needed. It can work well for signage and packaging that benefits from a bold, clean voice, and for UI/marketing callouts where clarity and punch matter more than airy text color.
The overall tone is direct and energetic, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with assertiveness from the dense weight. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than decorative, with a sporty, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans that prioritizes impact and straightforward readability. Its geometric construction and simplified lowercase aim for clean reproduction and consistent rhythm across a range of prominent applications.
In the sample text, the tight interior spaces and strong stroke density create a compact, high-impact color that favors larger sizes. Curved joins are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel sturdy and well-supported, reinforcing a solid, poster-ready impression.
