This typeface is a clean sans with a geometric underpinning and gently rounded curves. Strokes appear even and consistent, with straightforward, unmodulated terminals and smooth joins. Uppercase forms read wide and open, with circular bowls in C, G, O, and Q and a balanced, symmetrical feel in letters like M, N, and W. Lowercase shapes are simple and highly legible, with open apertures in c, e, and s; a double-storey g; and a single-storey a that keeps the texture uncluttered. Numerals follow the same plainspoken construction, with clear, readable shapes and minimal stylistic quirks.
It works well for user interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose editorial text where clarity and consistency are priorities. The clean uppercase and straightforward numerals also make it suitable for wayfinding, dashboards, and brand systems that need a modern, unobtrusive sans.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, projecting clarity and approachability rather than personality-heavy styling. Its restrained geometry and consistent rhythm give it a matter-of-fact, dependable voice suited to everyday reading.
The font appears designed as a versatile, contemporary workhorse: geometric enough to feel modern, but restrained and open enough to remain comfortable for continuous reading and broad graphic use.
The design leans on round counters and generous internal space, helping it stay readable at larger text sizes and in UI-like settings. Straight-sided letters such as E, F, H, and L feel crisp and engineered, while the rounded characters keep the texture from becoming rigid.
