This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a strong, even color on the page. Strokes are thick with gently rounded curves and mostly squared terminals, creating a sturdy, poster-like texture. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are relatively closed, which increases density and impact at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a round i/j dot, and an overall utilitarian rhythm that favors bold shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and display settings where bold presence and quick recognition are priorities—such as posters, branding wordmarks, packaging, and large-format signage. It can work for short UI labels or badges when high contrast against the background is available, but it is less comfortable for dense, extended reading.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, with a friendly, approachable bluntness. Its wide stance and dense forms feel modern and emphatic, leaning toward sporty and attention-grabbing rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric construction: broad shapes, sturdy curves, and compact counters that hold together at large sizes. It prioritizes clarity and punch for display typography over nuanced text-grade openness.
In the sample text, the weight and tight internal counters make long passages feel visually heavy, while headings and short phrases read with strong authority. The numerals are similarly robust, maintaining the same broad, blocky presence as the letters.
