A clean sans with gently rounded construction and consistent, monolinear strokes. Curves are smooth and generous, with open apertures and a clear, steady rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals read mostly soft and unobtrusive, and the overall spacing feels even and breathable, supporting legibility in continuous text. Numerals are simple and straightforward, matching the lowercase tone without calling attention to themselves.
Well-suited to interface copy, documentation, and general-purpose editorial layouts where consistent legibility is needed. Its open shapes and even texture also make it a good fit for signage, dashboards, and presentation decks that benefit from a clean, unobtrusive sans.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded forms and open counters. It feels calm and utilitarian rather than loud or stylized, aiming for clarity and ease of reading.
The design appears intended as an all-around workhorse sans: restrained, readable, and visually balanced for both short labels and longer passages. Its rounded, open forms suggest an effort to keep the voice approachable while remaining firmly functional.
Uppercase forms stay restrained and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more humanist feel through its proportions and curved joins. In the sample text, the type maintains an even color and a stable baseline, giving paragraphs a tidy, predictable texture.
