A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded bowls. Strokes are uniformly thick, with clean joins and minimal modulation, creating dense, high-ink letterforms. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, 8, and 9), and terminals are largely squared-off, giving the design a compact, blocky rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a two-storey-style g and a single-storey a; the overall texture stays even and solid in running text.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and branding where a strong, modern presence is needed. It should perform well on posters, signage, packaging, and bold UI moments like hero banners or section headers where quick recognition matters more than airy text color.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly roundness that keeps the weight from feeling severe. Its bold mass and straightforward shapes suggest an energetic, sporty sensibility suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, high-impact geometric voice with approachable curves, prioritizing bold legibility and strong shapes for display-first communication.
The numerals are similarly robust and rounded, with strong silhouettes that read well at a glance. In the sample text, the heavy weight creates a dark paragraph color, emphasizing impact over delicate detail and favoring larger sizes and shorter line lengths.
