A clean geometric sans with even stroke weight and generously rounded curves. Counters are open and near-circular (notably in O, C, e, and o), while terminals are mostly straight and squared, giving a crisp, engineered finish. Uppercase forms feel structured and stable with simple diagonals (A, V, W, X) and minimal modulation, while the lowercase introduces softer, more human rhythm through round bowls and compact joins. Numerals are clear and contemporary, mixing circular figures (0, 8, 9) with straightforward angular construction (1, 4, 7) for consistent texture in running text.
Well-suited for UI and product text where clarity and consistency are important, and it also performs confidently in headings and brand systems that want a modern, geometric voice. Its open shapes and steady rhythm make it a solid choice for editorial layouts and clear, contemporary signage.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining geometric clarity with a mild friendliness from its rounded forms. It reads as neutral and professional rather than expressive, with a subtly tech-leaning polish that suits contemporary interfaces and branding.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver dependable readability with a contemporary geometric character—simple construction, open counters, and restrained detailing aimed at broad, everyday use across digital and print contexts.
The design maintains a calm, even typographic color and steady spacing in the sample text, supporting long lines without visual noise. Curvature is smooth and consistent across bowls and shoulders, and the alphabet shows a cohesive geometric logic across both cases.
