A heavy, block-driven sans with broad proportions and softened corners that keep the dense color from feeling harsh. Curves are built from generous, near-circular bowls (notably in C, O, and the lowercase), while straight strokes stay sturdy and even, producing a stable rhythm across lines. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are compact, giving the face a punchy, poster-like presence. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall geometry reads as engineered and consistent rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense strokes and compact counters translate into bold, readable statements. It works well for attention-led applications such as headlines, posters, product packaging, sports or event branding, and short signage copy where visual authority is more important than delicate detail.
The tone is assertive and high-energy, designed to grab attention quickly while still feeling approachable due to its rounded shaping. It evokes a contemporary, sporty sensibility—confident, loud, and headline-first—without leaning into sharp or aggressive detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean, modern silhouette—combining broad, geometric forms with softened corners to stay friendly while remaining unmistakably strong in display settings.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and compact counters create strong texture and emphasize word shapes; spacing looks intentionally firm to maintain impact. The numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic, keeping the set cohesive in branding and display contexts.
