A clean sans with smoothly rounded bowls and largely even stroke weight. Curves are close to circular, with generous apertures and clear internal counters that keep forms open at text sizes. Terminals are mostly straight or gently rounded, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are crisp without feeling sharp. Spacing reads comfortable and slightly expanded, giving the overall texture an airy, uncluttered rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to UI and product typography where clarity, open counters, and a steady rhythm are important. The wider proportions and clean geometry also work well for branding, headlines, and short display lines, and can hold up in signage or wayfinding contexts where quick recognition matters.
The tone is contemporary and neutral, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded curves and open shapes. It feels matter-of-fact rather than expressive, lending a calm, “designed” clarity typical of modern interface and brand typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric-leaning sans that stays readable and unobtrusive, prioritizing open shapes, consistent stroke behavior, and a tidy overall color for contemporary digital and print use.
Lowercase forms maintain straightforward construction (single-storey a and g), supporting a simple, efficient reading pattern. Numerals match the same smooth geometry, with round figures staying prominent and consistent alongside the letterforms.
