A geometric sans with smooth, rounded bowls and largely monolinear strokes. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with simple, circular construction in letters like O, C, and G, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisply joined. Terminals are mostly flat and square-cut, counters are open and generous, and spacing reads even and orderly in both the grid and the text sample. Numerals follow the same clean geometry, with clear, sturdy shapes that match the caps’ weight and presence.
Well-suited to modern branding systems, editorial headlines, posters, and product packaging where a clean, geometric voice is desired. Its open counters and steady spacing also make it a practical choice for UI text, wayfinding, and other clarity-first applications.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward, balancing a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, utilitarian clarity. It feels confident and familiar rather than expressive, lending a calm, dependable voice to text and interface-like settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a neutral, contemporary sans with geometric construction and reliable legibility. Its restrained details and consistent forms suggest an emphasis on versatility across display and functional text contexts.
The design maintains consistent stroke behavior across cases, with a slightly more rounded, human-friendly feel in the lowercase while staying firmly geometric. The sample text shows solid word-shape rhythm and clear punctuation presence, supporting comfortable reading at larger text sizes and prominent UI or brand applications.
