A heavy, compact sans with broad, rounded curves and firmly squared terminals. Stroke weight is consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, graphic texture and strong color in text. Counters are relatively small, apertures are tightened, and joins are simplified, giving letters a sturdy, slightly geometric construction. The overall rhythm is even and solid, with a generous cap height and straightforward, no-nonsense silhouettes.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and bold UI banners where strong presence is the goal. It can work for short subheads and captions when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is bold and assertive while staying approachable thanks to softened curves and rounded shapes. It reads as modern and energetic, with a sporty, headline-forward presence that feels upbeat rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, contemporary sans structure—favoring simple geometry, strong strokes, and compact counters to produce a clear, emphatic voice in display typography.
In the sample text, the weight creates strong emphasis and tight internal spaces, which can make small sizes feel dense; it becomes most legible and characteristic when given room to breathe. The numerals and capitals maintain the same robust, simplified geometry, supporting a consistent, impactful voice across mixed text.
