A solid, contemporary sans with broad proportions and a steady, even color. Curves are clean and near-geometric, with generously rounded bowls (O, C, G, o, e) and straightforward joins. Terminals are predominantly straight and squared-off, keeping edges crisp while counters stay open for clarity. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike forms with a single-storey a and g and a compact, high-contrast-free rhythm suited to continuous text.
Its broad shapes and open counters make it a strong choice for headlines, large UI labels, and short blocks of copy where clarity and presence matter. It also suits branding and signage contexts that need a clean, contemporary sans with a friendly edge.
The overall tone is modern and self-assured, with a friendly neutrality that doesn’t call attention to itself. Its wide stance and rounded geometry give it an approachable, contemporary voice while still feeling businesslike and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, highly legible sans built from round, geometric forms, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a confident display presence. The simplified lowercase structure suggests an emphasis on easy recognition and robust reproduction across sizes.
Numerals follow the same sturdy, open construction, reading clearly at display sizes. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the sample emphasizes strong spacing and an even, stable baseline presence.
