A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular bowls while joins and terminals stay clean and largely squared-off, creating a blocky silhouette with softened rounding. The lowercase shows single-story “a” and “g” with straightforward construction, and the numerals are bold and open, emphasizing mass and legibility over finesse. Overall spacing reads stable and even, with forms that feel tightly built and deliberately simplified for strong color on the page.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where bold, readable shapes are needed quickly—posters, branding wordmarks, packaging, and short-form signage. It can also work for emphasis in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly, where its dense texture becomes a deliberate hierarchy cue.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, combining blunt weight with approachable roundness. It conveys a no-nonsense, high-energy presence that feels friendly rather than aggressive, lending itself to attention-grabbing messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with simple, geometric construction—prioritizing immediate recognition, strong typographic color, and a modern, approachable character for display typography.
The design relies on large, consistent stroke thickness and reduced detail, producing strong texture at large sizes. Tight apertures and smaller counters in letters like “e,” “a,” and “s” reinforce the dense, poster-like impression.
