A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact inner counters and a dense, punchy color on the page. Terminals are largely straight and blunt, while round letters (O, C, G) lean on circular geometry with subtly flattened sides. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, and a prominent, rectangular dot on i/j; overall spacing reads generous but the weight keeps shapes tightly packed.
Best suited to big, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, retail packaging, and event graphics where dense black shapes help messaging stand out. It also fits sporty or casual branding and straightforward signage that benefits from robust letterforms and simplified shapes.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, balancing utilitarian clarity with a playful, slightly retro mass-market feel. Its rounded geometry and blunt endings give it a friendly toughness—more energetic than formal, and designed to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with uncomplicated geometry: a dependable, attention-getting sans that stays readable at a glance while maintaining a friendly, approachable character.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X) are built with wide, stable joins that keep the texture even at large sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with rounded bowls and strong horizontal emphasis, making them visually consistent in display settings.
