A heavy, wide sans with large counters, rounded bowls, and blunt terminals that create a sturdy, compact silhouette. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular forms while joins stay firm and geometric, giving the letters a sculpted, machined feel rather than a calligraphic one. The set balances broad horizontals with strong verticals, and the numerals follow the same chunky, open construction for consistent color in headlines and short lines.
Best suited to headline and display work where strong presence is needed—posters, sports and event graphics, bold brand marks, and packaging titles. It also works well for short UI or signage labels when set large, where its open counters and simple shapes keep forms recognizable.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, projecting a straightforward confidence with a slightly playful, retro athletic flavor. Its wide stance and rounded shapes feel approachable while still reading as forceful and attention-grabbing.
This design appears intended as a high-impact, contemporary display sans that combines geometric roundness with a sturdy, wide build to deliver immediate visibility and a friendly, assertive voice.
Spacing appears tuned for display: the width and dense strokes create a dark, uniform texture that benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes. Round letters maintain clear interior space, helping counters stay legible despite the mass.
