This sans-serif has a geometric, rounded skeleton with smooth curves and squared-off terminals. Proportions feel generously set with wide letterforms and open apertures, creating an airy rhythm in words. Strokes remain even throughout, with minimal modulation, and curves stay controlled and circular in O/C/G-style shapes. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), while the uppercase maintains broad, stable structures and concise crossbars.
Its broad, open forms suit branding and logo systems that want a contemporary, friendly presence. The clear shapes and generous counters also work well for user interfaces, wayfinding, and product packaging where quick recognition matters. It scales effectively for headlines and short paragraphs, especially in layouts that can accommodate wider set text.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a technical, engineered clarity with soft, rounded shapes. Its broad proportions and open forms give it a calm, confident voice that reads as contemporary rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, geometric sans with softened edges—prioritizing clarity, contemporary neutrality, and easy readability in both display and practical communication settings.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 are notably elliptical and spacious, and the numerals follow the same smooth, geometric logic for a consistent text-and-UI feel. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text appear comfortable, supporting long lines without looking cramped.
