A geometric sans with round, evenly weighted strokes and a generous overall footprint. Curves are smooth and circular, with open apertures and clear countershapes that keep forms readable at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while joins and bowls stay soft and continuous, creating a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions (notably a and g), and the figures follow the same rounded, straightforward logic.
This font is well-suited to UI labels, product interfaces, and digital layouts where clarity and consistent geometry matter. Its broad, rounded shapes also work well for brand wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding or signage, especially at medium to large sizes. In headlines and short paragraphs, it maintains an even texture without looking rigid.
The overall tone feels contemporary and approachable, balancing a precise, engineered structure with warm, rounded forms. It reads as clear and confident rather than formal, with an everyday friendliness that suits modern interfaces and branding.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes geometric coherence and legibility. Its rounded construction and clean terminals suggest an intention to feel modern and accessible while remaining neutral enough for a wide range of design systems.
Uppercase forms lean on simple geometric silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains compact, uncluttered shapes with minimal detailing. Numerals are plain and highly recognizable, matching the letterforms’ smooth geometry and clean spacing.
