A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded curves paired with flat, squared terminals. Counters are compact and apertures are relatively tight, giving the letters a solid, block-like silhouette. Stroke joins are clean and mechanical, with minimal modulation and smooth, circular bowls on forms like C, O, and G. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and an overall even rhythm that holds up well in large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, hero text, signage, and branding where maximum visibility and a strong silhouette are priorities. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a sturdy, modern sans presence, and it can work well in sports or entertainment contexts when set with ample tracking and leading.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry despite the dense weight. It reads as modern and energetic—ideal when you want text to feel bold, straightforward, and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, geometric sans voice with high visual presence and simple, reliable letterforms. Its construction prioritizes strong shapes and consistency for display-driven applications where clarity at a glance matters.
The figures and capitals share the same compact, weighty construction, producing a consistent color across mixed-case settings. The tight apertures and dense counters emphasize impact in headlines, while longer passages can feel visually heavy without generous spacing.
