A geometric sans with low stroke contrast and a crisp, even rhythm. Forms lean on simple circles and straight segments, with generous counters and open apertures that keep letters clear at text sizes. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, and curves are smooth and consistent; diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are sharply defined without calligraphic modulation. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the letterforms’ tidy proportions and simple construction.
Well-suited for interface copy, product and corporate branding, and editorial layouts where a clean, contemporary sans is needed. The open counters and restrained detailing also make it a solid choice for signage, wayfinding, and slide decks that prioritize quick scanning.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact with a mild friendliness from the rounded bowls and open shapes. It feels calm and dependable rather than expressive, projecting clarity and efficiency in both display and running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a versatile, contemporary sans built from simple geometry, emphasizing legibility and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals. It aims for a neutral voice that can support a wide range of communication without drawing attention to stylistic quirks.
The sample text shows stable spacing and a controlled, slightly expansive feel that helps maintain legibility. Round characters (C, G, O, Q, e) read as clean and geometric, while the set maintains consistent stroke endings and a cohesive, no-nonsense texture.
