A clean, geometric sans with smooth, near-circular bowls and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves are round and controlled, with crisp, straight terminals and minimal modulation, giving the alphabet a steady, even color. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing a simplified, contemporary construction. Overall spacing and proportions feel balanced and consistent, supporting clear word shapes in continuous text.
This face suits interface copy, product labeling, and general-purpose text where a clean, consistent sans is needed. It also works well for signage and informational graphics thanks to its open counters and steady, legible rhythm in mixed-case settings.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense clarity. Its geometric roundness keeps it approachable, while the restrained detailing and consistent rhythm lend it a professional, system-like calm.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse: geometric enough to feel modern, but restrained and even in texture for comfortable everyday reading and clear informational typography.
Round characters such as C, O, and Q read very smoothly, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep the texture stable. The figures appear plain and sturdy, matching the alphabet’s straightforward construction and maintaining a cohesive voice between text and numerals.
