A clean sans with largely circular/elliptical construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are even and steady with minimal modulation, producing a consistent color in text. Counters are open and generously sized, and the x-height reads notably large against comparatively short ascenders/descenders. Terminals are mostly plain and squared-off, while joins stay smooth and unobtrusive; overall spacing feels roomy, supporting a clear, straightforward rhythm.
Works well for user interfaces, web and app text, dashboards, and other clarity-first environments where a steady texture and open counters aid legibility. Its straightforward shapes also suit wayfinding and signage, and it scales comfortably into headings for clean editorial layouts and brand systems that need a neutral, contemporary sans.
The overall tone is modern and neutral with a mild friendliness from the rounded forms. It feels practical and confident rather than expressive, with a calm, no-nonsense voice suited to informational settings. The generous apertures and simple detailing give it an accessible, contemporary character.
Likely designed as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency across sizes. The geometric roundness and simple terminals suggest an intention to feel contemporary and approachable while remaining restrained enough for broad everyday use.
Round letters like O/0, C, and G emphasize the geometric skeleton, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and stable. In the sample text, the large x-height and open shapes help maintain clarity at smaller sizes, and the even stroke texture keeps longer lines from looking busy.
