A clean sans with largely geometric construction and even, low-contrast strokes. Rounds (O, C, G, o, e) read as near-circular with smooth curves, while straights and terminals finish bluntly without flare. Uppercase proportions are balanced and compact, with wide, stable diagonals in A/V/W/Y and simple, rectangular E/F/T. Lowercase forms are straightforward and open, with single-storey a and g, round i/j dots, and a plain, readable e; the overall spacing feels measured and consistent, producing a steady text color in paragraphs.
Well-suited to interface copy, product UI, and general-purpose text where neutrality and clarity are important. It also works for wayfinding and signage, as well as straightforward branding systems that need a clean sans foundation.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for clarity rather than personality. Its geometric calm and unembellished details give it a practical, straightforward voice that still feels approachable.
Designed as a general-purpose geometric sans that prioritizes legibility and even texture across both display and text settings. The simplified lowercase and restrained details suggest an intention to stay versatile and unobtrusive in a wide range of layouts.
Figures are simple and functional with clear counters; the 0 is oval and the 1 is a plain vertical with a small top flag, supporting quick recognition in mixed content. The sample text shows strong legibility at larger sizes, with smooth curves and consistent rhythm across long lines.
