A heavy, wide sans with superelliptical construction: rounded-rectangle bowls, broad stems, and a distinctly squarish curve language. Terminals are blunt and mostly horizontal, with minimal detailing and tight internal counters that emphasize mass. The design keeps a consistent, machined geometry across letters, mixing soft outer corners with crisp, flat joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read as thick wedges. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-rect rhythm, with sturdy, closed forms that hold their shape at large sizes.
Best used for posters, headlines, and display typography where maximum presence is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from chunky, rounded-rect forms, and works well for sporty or industrial-themed graphics, badges, and bold wordmarks.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a slightly retro, sign-painted vibe translated into a modern, geometric silhouette. Its exaggerated width and dense blackness create a playful but forceful voice that feels suited to attention-grabbing messages rather than subtle reading.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography by combining extreme weight with a wide, rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent, engineered shapes to keep large-scale text punchy and visually unified.
In text settings the tight apertures and compact counters can darken word shapes, especially in letters like a, e, s, and g, increasing the ‘wall of type’ effect. The wide footprint and uniform thickness make spacing and line breaks feel bold and deliberate, favoring short phrases and stacked layouts.
