A clean, geometric sans with largely circular bowls and smooth, even strokes. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase o/e), paired with straight, stable verticals and simple terminals. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with open counters and clear apertures that keep forms from closing up. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact t with a straightforward crossbar, and a generally tidy, consistent rhythm across words and lines. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the same circular/straight-stem construction and maintaining a cohesive texture in text.
Works well for UI and product text where clean geometry and open forms aid quick scanning. It also suits contemporary branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a neutral, modern voice. In editorial contexts, it can serve as a straightforward sans for headings and short to medium-length passages.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, leaning neutral rather than expressive. Its rounded geometry and calm spacing give it a friendly, contemporary feel suited to interfaces and everyday communication, without looking playful or quirky.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile, contemporary sans built from simple geometric primitives, prioritizing clarity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its restrained construction suggests a general-purpose workhorse meant to fit comfortably into modern digital and print systems.
Letter shapes emphasize clarity: round forms are close to true circles, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sharply resolved and consistent in angle. The Q features a clear tail, and the e’s open eye supports readability at text sizes. Spacing appears even in sample paragraphs, producing a smooth, consistent gray value.
