A clean, geometric sans with largely circular bowls, even stroke weight, and crisp, straight terminals. Proportions feel broad and steady, with generous counters and clear interior space in letters like O, D, and P. The lowercase shows simple, modern constructions with single‑storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and straightforward, unadorned stems and shoulders. Numerals are similarly even and open, with a rounded 0 and balanced curves across 6–9, giving the set a consistent rhythm.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product design where clarity and consistency matter. Its broad, open forms also work for wayfinding and signage, and it can serve as a dependable backbone for brand systems, presentation decks, and general editorial layouts.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter‑of‑fact, leaning toward a neutral, professional voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its geometry and restrained detailing suggest a practical, modernist sensibility suited to information-first typography.
Designed to provide a straightforward, highly legible sans that feels contemporary and versatile, with geometric construction and minimal stylistic quirks. The aim appears to be a dependable workhorse for everyday communication across digital and print contexts.
Capitals are built from simple geometric strokes with smooth curves and minimal modulation, keeping silhouettes stable at both display sizes and in paragraph settings. Spacing and shapes read as intentionally plain and systematic, prioritizing clarity over personality.
