A heavy, compact sans with sturdy, rounded letterforms and minimal stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and full, with broad counters that stay open even at this weight, while joins and terminals are largely straight-cut, giving the design a clean, engineered feel. Proportions are slightly condensed in many capitals, and spacing feels purposeful and tight, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text. Numerals match the same robust construction, with simplified shapes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, bold branding, and packaging where a solid, compact sans can carry attention. It also works well for short UI labels and signage at larger sizes, where its sturdy shapes and open counters help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and straightforward, with a friendly edge from the rounded curves. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, leaning toward a sporty, poster-like energy rather than a delicate or formal voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that balances geometric roundness with practical, no-nonsense terminals. Its compact rhythm and strong mass suggest an aim for modern, attention-grabbing typography that remains legible in brief messages.
In the sample text the heavy weight creates strong color and crisp word shapes, with particularly stable forms in wide letters like M and W and a compact rhythm in narrower letters like E, F, and T. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes, supporting quick scanning at larger sizes.
