A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and substantial stroke weight. Forms lean on circular and oval construction, producing round counters in letters like O, C, and G, paired with clean, straight terminals and crisp joins. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with short-looking ascenders/descenders and generous bowls, creating a dense, high-ink texture in text. Overall spacing reads tight-to-normal for the weight, with an even rhythm and clear, simplified shapes that prioritize solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where size and presence matter. It also works for short bursts of text—taglines, calls to action, UI banners—when you want a compact, high-impact voice without ornament.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a friendly, contemporary bluntness. Its big, rounded shapes feel approachable while the mass and width project confidence and visibility, giving it a sporty, headline-forward character.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with clean geometry and simplified letterforms, emphasizing clarity and immediate recognition at display sizes. The combination of wide stance and rounded construction suggests an intent to feel modern and approachable while remaining strong and attention-grabbing.
The figures are large and sturdy with a straightforward, legible construction, and punctuation such as the apostrophe and ampersand reads bold and blocklike to match the rest of the set. The design maintains consistent curve tension across rounds and bowls, helping paragraphs of display text look uniform and controlled.
