A geometric sans with clean, mostly uniform strokes and rounded bowls built from simple circular and elliptical forms. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with generous counters and clear interior space in letters like O, P, and e. Terminals are largely straight and crisp, while curves stay smooth and consistent; joins in letters such as n and m read sturdy and uncluttered. Numerals and capitals appear orderly and stable, lending a tidy, grid-friendly rhythm in display settings.
Well-suited for modern branding systems, interface labels, and product typography where clarity and a neutral voice are needed. The clean geometry and open forms also work effectively for headlines, posters, and signage that benefit from a straightforward, contemporary look.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded construction and open counters. It feels contemporary and accessible rather than technical or ornate, projecting clarity and calm in longer lines of text.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric sans that prioritizes clear shapes, simple construction, and an even reading texture. It aims to be adaptable across display and everyday typographic roles while maintaining a modern, friendly neutrality.
Lowercase punctuation and i/j dots read as distinct, round points, adding a crisp, slightly playful detail. The lowercase a is single-storey, reinforcing the geometric, approachable character. Curves and straight strokes maintain a consistent visual logic, keeping texture even across mixed-case sample text.
