A heavy, block-forward sans with large counters, rounded curve joins, and predominantly flat terminals. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S are built from broad arcs that keep a consistent, sturdy rhythm, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L) read as compact and square-shouldered. The lowercase is simplified and weighty, with single-storey a and g, short-armed r, and a strong, rectangular dot on i/j. Numerals are similarly bold and stable, with wide bowls and minimal interior detail for high-impact readability.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and bold branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, sports or team-style graphics, and any design needing a dense, high-contrast block of text at larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, combining a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, poster-ready heft. It feels contemporary and workmanlike—more about impact and clarity than refinement—making it naturally attention-grabbing and direct.
The design appears intended as a high-impact sans for display use, emphasizing compact geometry, simplified lowercase forms, and robust counters to keep letters readable while maintaining a forceful, energetic voice.
Proportions stay compact with minimal stroke modulation, helping large text blocks hold an even, dark color. The shapes prioritize clear silhouettes: wide apertures, generous inner spaces, and stout diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y that avoid fragility at display sizes.
