A heavy, wide sans with compact counters and rounded, squared-off forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly straight or softly curved, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Curves (C, O, S) are broad and smooth, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp but kept visually stable by generous stroke weight. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short extenders, and a large x-height that keeps text dense and strongly textured. Numerals are wide and solid, matching the letterforms’ blocky rhythm and tight internal spaces.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, bold branding, and packaging where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also works well for signage and short UI labels when used at sufficiently large sizes to keep counters from closing up.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its wide stance and compact apertures give it an energetic, sporty feel that reads as confident and direct rather than delicate. The rounded geometry adds approachability, keeping the boldness from feeling overly aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a broad, stable footprint and simplified, geometric construction. Its large x-height and compact details suggest a focus on strong readability in display settings, prioritizing punchy rhythm and a uniform, contemporary texture.
Spacing appears built for tight, headline-like setting: sidebearings feel compact and the dark color is continuous across words, especially in the sample paragraph. Letter differentiation leans on silhouette more than interior detail, so the face reads best when size and leading provide enough air around the dense forms.
