A clean sans with monolinear strokes and gently rounded terminals. The proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with generous counters and open apertures that keep letters clear at text sizes. Curves are smooth and circular in character, while straighter forms stay crisp without becoming rigid. Overall spacing reads even and steady, producing an orderly rhythm across both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to user interfaces, product typography, and web copy where clarity and even texture are priorities. It also works for editorial layouts, presentation decks, and straightforward branding systems that benefit from a contemporary, no-nonsense sans.
The tone is modern and neutral with a mild warmth from its rounded finishing. It feels straightforward and utilitarian rather than stylized, projecting clarity and approachability in continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a versatile workhorse sans: readable, rhythmically even, and visually unobtrusive, with rounded details that soften the overall feel without sacrificing clarity.
Numerals and punctuation share the same calm, rounded construction, helping mixed text look consistent. The lowercase shows simple, familiar silhouettes designed for legibility, while capitals remain clean and restrained for headings and UI labeling.
