A restrained sans with mostly monolinear strokes and gently rounded curves. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and clear apertures that keep the rhythm airy in text. Round letters like O and Q are smoothly drawn, while straighter forms (E, F, H, N) maintain clean, even stems and consistent join behavior. Terminals read as crisp and uncomplicated, and the overall spacing feels measured, supporting steady word shapes at paragraph sizes.
It suits general-purpose typography where neutrality and legibility are priorities—interfaces, product documentation, reports, and editorial layouts. The steady texture and open forms also make it a reliable choice for brand systems that need a modern, unobtrusive sans across headings and copy.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, projecting clarity rather than personality. Its controlled geometry and quiet detailing give it a polished, editorial feel that stays out of the way of content.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, contemporary sans that maintains a calm typographic color in continuous reading while still looking crisp in display sizes. The emphasis is on straightforward construction, consistent curves, and dependable spacing for everyday use.
Figures appear text-friendly and consistent in color, with simple, recognizable forms and moderate openness. The lowercase shows a practical, readable structure that complements the more formal uppercase without feeling stiff.
