A heavy, block-built sans with a wide stance and rounded geometry. Strokes are strongly weighted with crisp, mostly horizontal/vertical construction, while bowls and counters are carved into smooth ovals that stay relatively compact. Terminals are flat and clean, and several joins show gently softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with broad capitals and sturdy numerals that read as solid shapes before detail.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and large-format signage where its wide, weighty forms can project presence. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but longer passages will appear very dense due to the heavy stroke mass.
The tone is loud and confident, leaning toward sporty and industrial display work. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded cut-ins give it a friendly, slightly playful edge, while the mass and width communicate strength and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through wide proportions, simplified construction, and rounded counters that preserve clarity while keeping a bold, graphic silhouette. It prioritizes strong, logo-like letterforms that maintain consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In text settings the weight produces a dark color and tight internal space, so counters can feel compressed at smaller sizes. The design’s broad proportions and strong horizontals make it especially punchy in short lines and headings, where the large shapes and distinctive round cutouts are most legible.
