A clean, monolinear sans with largely geometric construction and gently rounded curves. Strokes are even and steady, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving a consistent color in text. Counters are open and clear, and bowls tend toward circular forms, while verticals and horizontals remain crisp. Uppercase proportions feel stable and contemporary, and the lowercase maintains a practical, readable rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g”. Numerals are simple and well-balanced, matching the letterforms without calling attention to themselves.
This font is well-suited to interface copy, product and marketing text, and general-purpose editorial typography where clean readability is important. Its calm, modern character also makes it a solid choice for corporate branding systems, wayfinding and signage, and slide decks or infographics that benefit from a neutral sans.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a friendly clarity rather than a sharp or technical edge. Its restrained shapes and tidy spacing create an approachable, matter-of-fact voice suited to everyday communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: clear at small sizes, visually even in paragraphs, and uncomplicated enough to fit into a wide range of visual identities without overpowering surrounding design elements.
The design favors straightforward geometry and legibility, with open forms that hold up well at typical UI and editorial sizes. The glyph set shown keeps details minimal, avoiding decorative quirks and emphasizing consistency across letters and figures.
