A clean, geometric sans with smooth circular bowls, even stroke modulation, and crisp, straight terminals. Proportions feel balanced and steady, with rounded forms (C, O, Q, 0) reading very circular and counters kept open for clarity. Lowercase shapes are simple and contemporary, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and generally uncluttered joins that keep the texture uniform in paragraphs. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and curvature, maintaining consistent rhythm alongside text.
Well-suited to UI copy, product and brand systems, and general-purpose editorial layouts where a clean sans is needed without looking sterile. The clear, open shapes and steady rhythm also make it a good choice for signage, labels, and slide decks at a range of sizes.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, projecting clarity and approachability rather than strong personality. Its rounded geometry gives it a friendly, calm presence suitable for everyday communication and interface-like contexts.
Designed as a versatile, modern sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency through geometric construction and restrained detailing. The simple lowercase forms and rounded bowls suggest an intention to stay neutral and adaptable across many applications while retaining a subtly friendly voice.
Letterforms maintain a consistent geometric logic across capitals and lowercase, with generous curves and restrained detailing that supports a smooth reading texture. The punctuation and ampersand in the sample text appear straightforward and utilitarian, matching the font’s no-nonsense construction.
