A heavy, extended sans with broad proportions and compact counters that create a dense, graphic texture. Curves are smooth and simplified, with rounded bowls and terminals paired with crisp, straight strokes, producing a sturdy, modern silhouette. The uppercase is wide and stable, while the lowercase keeps straightforward construction with minimal modulation; punctuation and figures follow the same solid, no-nonsense geometry for consistent color in text and display.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where width and weight can do the work of emphasis. It fits branding systems that need a strong, contemporary voice—such as sports, tech products, or bold packaging—especially when set large. In dense paragraphs it will appear heavy and space-consuming, but it can perform well for impactful pull quotes and UI hero text.
The overall tone is direct and high-impact, leaning contemporary and performance-oriented. Its wide stance and simplified shapes communicate strength and clarity, with a slightly industrial, tech-forward feel rather than a delicate or formal one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean, modern construction—combining wide proportions with simplified, rounded geometry for legibility at large sizes and a confident, contemporary personality.
Round letters like O and Q read as broad ovals, reinforcing the expanded rhythm across words, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and energetic. The figures appear similarly wide and sturdy, supporting big, attention-grabbing numeric settings.
