A clean sans with smooth, rounded curves and straightforward, monoline construction. Counters are open and generously sized, with even spacing that produces an airy texture in text. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric-leaning, while lowercase shows a mild humanist flavor—noticeable in the double-storey “a,” the curved shoulder on “r,” and the softly modulated terminals that avoid harsh cuts. Numerals are clear and unobtrusive, matching the overall restraint and consistency of the letterforms.
Well-suited to interface copy, product text, and general-purpose editorial settings where even color and easy scanning matter. It also works cleanly for presentations and signage-style applications that benefit from open counters and restrained forms.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry and open shapes keep it friendly and approachable without feeling playful, making it read as practical and calm in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, modern sans for everyday reading—aiming for clarity, consistency, and a comfortable rhythm across both display-sized headings and paragraph text.
Diagonal letters like K, V, W, X, and Y keep a crisp, stable rhythm, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) stay smooth and balanced with no exaggerated quirks. The “g” appears single-storey with a simple loop and a clean descender, reinforcing the font’s straightforward, text-oriented character.
