A heavy, expanded sans with broad proportions and compact internal detailing. Strokes are consistently thick, with softly rounded joins and corners that keep the forms smooth despite their blocky silhouette. Curves are built from wide, oval bowls (notably in C/O/Q), while horizontals and verticals stay straight and firm, producing a stable, poster-like rhythm. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, and terminals are predominantly flat, giving the design a clean, engineered feel.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display typography where strong impact is needed—posters, sports and fitness branding, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It will perform most confidently at larger sizes or in short text runs where its width and mass can be used as a graphic element.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and forward-driving, with a sporty, headline-centric presence. Its wide stance and sturdy geometry suggest strength and immediacy, leaning modern and utilitarian rather than delicate or understated.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes presence and legibility under heavy weight. Its rounded geometry and wide proportions aim to balance toughness with smoothness, creating a bold, contemporary voice for branding and promotional use.
Uppercase shapes read as compact and powerful, with simplified constructions and minimal modulation; the lowercase follows suit with sturdy, rounded bowls and short, dense features (e.g., the compact t and the broad, two-storey-style presence in some forms). Numerals are wide and weighty, suited to impact-first settings where clarity at large sizes matters.
