A clean sans with open, rounded forms and an even, low-contrast stroke. Proportions feel slightly humanist: bowls are generous, counters stay open, and terminals are mostly straight with softly eased joins rather than sharp flare. The uppercase reads steady and unfussy, with broad curves in C/G/O and a straightforward, geometric-leaning construction in A/V/W/Y. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, supporting a dense, readable texture in paragraph settings. Numerals are simple and utilitarian, matching the letterforms’ smooth curves and consistent weight.
Well suited for user interfaces, web and app typography, and general-purpose body text where steady rhythm and high legibility are needed. It can also serve in editorial layouts and signage at a range of sizes, and works as a dependable base face within larger brand systems.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its roundness and open apertures add a friendly, approachable feel, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and neutral.
The design reads as a pragmatic, all-purpose sans intended to perform reliably in continuous text and everyday communication. It emphasizes straightforward shapes, open counters, and consistent stroke behavior to keep reading smooth across varying sizes and contexts.
Spacing appears balanced and consistent across the grid and in the text sample, producing an even rhythm without pronounced quirks. The design favors legibility through large counters and clear letter differentiation, especially in round characters and common text shapes.
