A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes remain consistently thick with clean, squared terminals and generous counters that keep forms readable at large sizes. The lowercase leans toward single‑storey constructions (notably a and g), with sturdy stems and simple joins that produce a compact, punchy rhythm. Overall spacing and shapes emphasize solidity and clarity rather than delicacy.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where weight and width can command attention. It also works well for bold branding, packaging, and signage that needs quick recognition from a distance. In dense paragraphs it may feel overpowering, but it excels in short bursts of text, labels, and large-format copy.
The tone is bold and straightforward, projecting a confident, energetic presence. Its rounded geometry softens the mass, creating a friendly, approachable feel even at very large sizes. The overall impression is contemporary and high-impact, suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean geometric voice, balancing strong, wide forms with rounded curves for approachability. It prioritizes legibility at display sizes and a contemporary, versatile tone for prominent messaging.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 are strongly circular/elliptical, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and open, reinforcing a clear, sporty silhouette. Numerals are heavy and simple, matching the letters closely for cohesive headline setting.
