A clean, geometric sans with smooth, circular bowls and a steady, even stroke. Curves are generously rounded and terminals read as simple, unembellished cuts, giving the letters a crisp, contemporary finish. Proportions feel balanced and straightforward, with open counters and clear apertures that keep word shapes tidy and consistent. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with simple forms and stable spacing that looks comfortable in continuous text.
This style works well for interface labels and product UI where clarity and consistency are important. It also suits editorial body text and headings thanks to its open forms and even color, and it can serve clean brand systems and wayfinding where a contemporary, unforced voice is needed.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels practical and straightforward rather than expressive, projecting a calm, contemporary sensibility.
The font appears designed to be a dependable, general-purpose geometric sans: legible, visually even in blocks of text, and versatile across display and text sizes without calling attention to itself.
The design emphasizes consistency across uppercase and lowercase, with smooth rhythm and minimal idiosyncrasies. Round letters like O/C/G and lowercase bowls maintain a cohesive circular construction, supporting a uniform, polished texture in paragraphs.
