A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with corners that read as softened or subtly rounded rather than sharp. Round letters are built from wide ovals (notably in O/o and 0), while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) form sturdy, symmetrical joins that keep the texture dense. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy profile with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a; terminals are generally blunt, reinforcing a solid, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold signage where a dense, confident voice is desirable. It can work for brief callouts or UI labels when large enough to keep counters and apertures from closing up.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a no-nonsense, high-impact presence that feels energetic and slightly retro. Its wide, compressed counters and chunky rhythm give it a sporty, industrial confidence suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and presence through wide geometry and uniform stroke construction, prioritizing impact and clarity over delicate detail. The softened corners and oval rounds aim to keep the heft approachable while maintaining a strong, utilitarian rhythm.
In text, the dense color and tight apertures (e.g., in e, s, and the bowls of B/8) create a strong, dark typographic mass, making it most comfortable at display sizes. Numerals appear robust and headline-oriented, with rounded forms matching the letterfit and a straightforward, functional construction.
