A clean sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, even curves. Strokes remain consistent throughout, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals, producing a steady, contemporary rhythm. Counters are open and round, and proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, with straightforward, legible lettershapes that hold up well in continuous text. Numerals match the overall simplicity, with clear silhouettes and unobtrusive detailing.
This font is well suited to UI and product text, documentation, and general-purpose editorial settings where clarity and an even typographic color are priorities. It also works for signage and wayfinding at moderate sizes thanks to its open counters and simple forms.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a calm, matter-of-fact presence. Its rounded geometry gives it a slightly approachable feel while still reading as professional and restrained, making it suitable when the typography should support the message rather than draw attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: straightforward geometry, consistent stroke behavior, and an emphasis on legibility in both single glyphs and running text.
Capitals appear tidy and consistent in width, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms (such as i/l and o). Curves are smooth and circular, and joins and corners stay clean without decorative quirks, keeping the texture even across paragraphs.
