A clean sans with broadly geometric construction and softly rounded curves. Strokes are even and steady, with generous apertures and open counters that keep shapes readable at a glance. Proportions feel balanced and workmanlike: uppercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, while the lowercase maintains a clear, conventional structure with simple terminals and minimal gesture. Numerals follow the same logic, with smooth curves and consistent stroke weight that sits comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to interface and product text where clarity and steady rhythm matter, and equally comfortable in headings for modern branding. The open shapes and straightforward forms also make it a solid option for signage and informational graphics, as well as decks and documents that need a clean, contemporary typographic voice.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a friendly practicality rather than sharp precision. Its rounded geometry and open forms give it an approachable, everyday voice that feels suitable for general-purpose communication.
The design intent reads as a general-purpose sans optimized for clarity and versatility, using rounded geometric forms and restrained detailing to stay neutral across many contexts.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in running text, producing a calm texture without strong quirks or calligraphic influence. The design avoids dramatic details, prioritizing clarity and consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
