A heavy, display-oriented sans with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, mostly squared construction. Forms are wide and steady, with open counters and generous interior space that keeps the dense weight readable. Curves are smoothly drawn but often finish with tapered, slightly flared or angled terminals, creating a subtle ink-trap-like bite in places (notably in S and some lowercase joins). Diagonals and joins are sharp and clean, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and high-impact, with a compact vertical feel against the broad set width.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where strong presence and high contrast can work at larger sizes. It also fits branding, packaging, and sports or entertainment graphics that benefit from wide proportions and assertive shapes.
The tone is bold and declarative, leaning toward headline and poster energy. Its mix of sturdy block shapes with sharp, tapered details gives a slightly retro, print-forward character that feels confident and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a modern sans foundation, using stroke contrast and tapered terminals to add character and improve silhouette distinction. It prioritizes bold display clarity and a memorable, print-ready voice over neutrality.
Uppercase characters read particularly stable and geometric, while lowercase adds a touch of personality through angled entry/exit strokes and distinctive hooks on letters like j and y. Numerals are large and punchy with clear silhouettes, and the overall texture remains even in paragraph-like settings at large sizes.
