A geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular bowls. Strokes are even and crisply terminated, with a steady rhythm and generous counters that keep forms open. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, single-story constructions (notably the a and g), while the caps stay straightforward and balanced with rounded C/G/O and a compact, straight-sided M/N. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with rounded curves and uncluttered silhouettes that match the letterforms.
Well suited to UI and product surfaces where clarity at varying sizes matters, as well as brand systems that want a modern, no-nonsense sans. The wide stance and open forms also work well for headlines, wayfinding, and short editorial passages where an even, clean texture is preferred.
The overall tone is calm and matter-of-fact, leaning modern and slightly friendly due to the rounded geometry and open spacing. It feels contemporary and pragmatic rather than expressive, giving text a clean, confident voice suited to everyday communication.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometry-led workhorse: broad, highly legible shapes with minimal stylistic distraction. Its proportions and open counters suggest a focus on clarity and consistency across both display and text-like settings.
Round letters read especially smooth (o/e/c), and diagonals (v/w/x/y) are sharply drawn, creating a subtle mix of softness and precision. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same restrained, geometric logic, helping longer settings maintain an even texture.
