A clean geometric sans with largely circular bowls, consistent stroke weight, and smooth, even curves. Uppercase forms are straightforward and stable, with wide, open counters in letters like C, O, and G and a simple, horizontal-bar E/F. Lowercase follows a single-storey construction for a and g, with a round i/j dot and compact, uncluttered joins; terminals are mostly square-cut with occasional subtle rounding from the curve geometry. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with a simple 1 and balanced, rounded 8/9 forms, maintaining an even texture in running text.
Well suited to interface typography and product branding where clarity and a modern, geometric tone are desired. It performs strongly in headlines and subheads, and its open counters make it a good candidate for wayfinding and signage as well as clean editorial layouts that call for a contemporary sans.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a friendly neutrality rather than overt personality. Its geometric regularity and open forms give it a confident, accessible voice that reads as modern and pragmatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a versatile, contemporary sans with geometric foundations and dependable readability. By keeping forms simple and counters open, it aims to provide a neutral workhorse voice that can scale from display settings to everyday text.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady color and rhythm at large sizes, with generous interior space that helps counters stay clear. Curves and straight segments meet cleanly, producing a crisp, engineered feel while remaining approachable due to the rounded construction.
