A crisp sans with largely geometric construction and gently rounded curves. Strokes remain even and consistent, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, producing a calm, technical texture. Counters are open and round (notably in C/O/Q), while verticals and diagonals keep a straightforward, engineered feel; the overall rhythm is even and uncluttered with slightly softened joins.
It works well for interface labels and product UI where consistent stroke weight and open shapes support quick recognition. The neutral geometry also suits editorial subheads, presentations, and general-purpose branding systems that need a clean, contemporary sans without overt stylistic quirks. Its simple numerals make it a solid choice for dashboards, infographics, and wayfinding-style typography.
The tone is modern and neutral, with a friendly clarity that comes from its round forms and open apertures. It feels contemporary and understated rather than expressive, giving text a composed, accessible voice suitable for everyday communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency through geometric forms and even stroke color. It aims to stay out of the way in continuous reading while still looking polished and contemporary in display settings.
The uppercase set reads balanced and measured, with simple, geometric silhouettes; the Q has a clear tail that differentiates it without becoming decorative. Lowercase forms maintain the same restrained geometry, with single-storey a and g contributing to a more approachable, contemporary feel. Numerals are clear and uncomplicated, matching the letterforms’ round-to-straight contrast.
