A clean sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes appear monolinear with consistent weight through joins and bowls, producing a steady, even texture. Counters are open and generous, and the overall set reads on the wider side with comfortable spacing. Round letters like O/C/G are close to circular, while straight-sided forms keep crisp verticals and horizontals; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are straightforward and symmetrical. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g, contributing to a simple, contemporary skeleton.
Works well for interface and product text, general-purpose branding, and clean headlines where a contemporary, unobtrusive voice is needed. The open forms and even rhythm also suit signage and presentation materials that need quick, reliable legibility.
The tone is neutral and modern, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its smooth geometry and open shapes lend a friendly, accessible feel without becoming playful, making it suited to straightforward, everyday communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: geometric-leaning, visually calm, and easy to read across a range of sizes. It favors straightforward letterforms and consistent spacing to maintain a stable, predictable texture in paragraphs and display settings.
Figures follow the same geometric logic as the letters, with clear, uncomplicated shapes and consistent stroke weight. Overall proportions and apertures support readability, especially in mixed-case text where the line color stays uniform and calm.
