This sans serif uses clean, even strokes with gently rounded curves and squared terminals, giving the outlines a tidy, engineered feel. Proportions are slightly generous in width with open counters and clear interior space, helping shapes stay distinct in continuous text. Curves are built from smooth circular/elliptical forms, while joins and corners remain crisp, creating a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
It performs well in interface design, product UI, and general-purpose body text where clarity and consistency are priorities. The open forms and steady spacing also make it a good fit for signage, dashboards, and modern brand systems that need a restrained, versatile sans.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a calm, straightforward voice that reads as dependable rather than expressive. Its rounded geometry adds a subtle friendliness, while the controlled structure keeps it feeling precise and contemporary.
The design appears intended as a broadly usable geometric sans that emphasizes legibility and even texture in running text while maintaining a contemporary, minimal aesthetic.
Lowercase forms appear compact and practical, with simple, uncluttered constructions; the single-storey shapes (notably the ‘a’) reinforce a contemporary, approachable feel. Numerals follow the same clean geometry, with clear silhouettes suited to mixed text and UI-style layouts.
