A clean, geometric sans with low contrast strokes and broadly circular bowls. Curves are smooth and consistent, while straighter letters (E, F, H, N) keep firm, vertical sides and simple joins. Counters are generous and apertures stay open in letters like C, S, and e, giving the design an airy, legible texture. Terminals appear largely squared-off but softened by the overall round construction, producing a balanced, highly regular rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
It fits interfaces, product branding, and corporate communications where clarity and a modern voice are priorities. The open counters and steady spacing also make it a practical choice for wayfinding and general editorial layouts, especially in short to medium-length text where a neutral sans is desired.
The font conveys a contemporary, matter-of-fact tone—calm, approachable, and efficient. Its geometric construction and even color feel tech-adjacent and institutional without becoming cold, making it read as dependable and straightforward.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose geometric sans: visually tidy, highly consistent, and optimized for clear reading across a wide range of everyday applications.
Capitals sit with a stable, blocky presence, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple forms and minimal idiosyncrasy. Numerals are similarly plainspoken and consistent in weight, suited to mixed text-and-number settings where uniformity matters.
