A clean sans with predominantly round construction and even, low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and full, with generous bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear at text sizes. Terminals are largely straight or softly rounded, and the overall rhythm feels steady and predictable, with simple, unembellished shapes and consistent spacing.
Well-suited to interfaces, product UI, and general-purpose editorial text where neutral tone and quick recognition matter. The open counters and steady proportions also make it a solid option for wayfinding, labels, dashboards, and other information-forward settings.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly softness coming from its rounded forms and open counters. It reads as approachable and everyday rather than stylish or expressive, aiming for clarity and calm presence.
The design appears intended as a dependable workhorse sans: visually unobtrusive, highly readable, and easy to deploy across digital and print contexts. Its rounded geometry and even color suggest an emphasis on clarity and consistency over personality-driven detailing.
Letterforms show a restrained, contemporary geometry: circular O/0 shapes, clean joins, and uncomplicated diagonals. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably the open, two-storey-style feel in forms like “a” and the straightforward “g”), while numerals follow the same clean, rounded logic for consistent text and UI use.
