A clean sans with rounded, geometric construction and low stroke contrast. Curves tend toward near-circular bowls and smooth terminals, balanced by straight-sided verticals and simple diagonals. Counters are open and generously sized, giving letters a clear, even color in text. Proportions feel broadly contemporary, with straightforward joins and minimal modulation that keeps the rhythm consistent across mixed-case and numerals.
This font works well for UI and product typography, where clarity at small sizes and consistent rhythm are priorities. Its open forms and steady color also make it suitable for short-to-medium body copy, dashboards, labels, and clear display use in signage or wayfinding.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a calm neutrality that reads as practical rather than expressive. Rounded forms soften the texture, creating a friendly, unpretentious voice well-suited to everyday interface and brand typography.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans: optimized for legibility and consistency, with gently rounded geometry to keep the voice approachable across both interface and editorial contexts.
The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and a simple, single-storey “g,” reinforcing the geometric, contemporary feel. Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ roundness and steady stroke weight for consistent typographic color in running text.
