A clean, low-friction sans with gently rounded joins and smoothly drawn curves. Strokes stay consistent with moderate modulation, giving letters a crisp but not mechanical finish. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while lowercase shows a straightforward, readable build with open counters and uncomplicated shapes. Terminals are largely blunt and smooth, and the overall spacing feels even, producing a calm, continuous texture in text. Numerals are simple and highly legible, matching the letterforms in weight and rhythm.
Well suited to interface typography, product copy, and general-purpose reading where an even, unobtrusive texture is important. It also works for editorial layouts and informational signage that benefit from open forms and straightforward numerals.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for clarity over personality. Its soft rounding keeps it approachable, while the restrained contrast and tidy construction maintain a professional, matter-of-fact feel.
Designed to be a versatile everyday sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency across sizes. The softened geometry and moderate stroke behavior suggest an intention to feel modern and friendly without sacrificing neutrality.
The sample text shows stable color across lines and good separation between similar shapes, with clear differentiation in forms like I/l and the numerals. Curves (C, G, O, Q) read cleanly, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel controlled rather than sharp, contributing to a smooth typographic voice.
