A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with clean joins and a generally squared-off feel softened by rounded curves in letters like C, O, and S. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and straightforward, unembellished construction, producing strong color and sturdy texture in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly robust and simple, with clear, high-impact silhouettes suited to large sizes.
It performs especially well in headlines, posters, and display settings where strong presence and quick readability matter. The sturdy forms also suit branding, packaging, and signage applications that need a modern, high-impact sans with approachable geometry.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly, no-nonsense presence. Its weight and wide stance give it an assertive, sporty energy, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact through simple, geometric construction and strong typographic color, prioritizing clarity and presence for display-driven typography.
The font maintains consistent stroke weight and generous internal space, helping individual shapes stay distinct even at tight tracking. In long lines the dense typographic color becomes a defining trait, making it feel best when used with ample leading and whitespace.
