A clean sans with broadly rounded bowls, open apertures, and smooth, continuous curves. Stroke endings are mostly straight and crisp, with minimal modulation and a steady rhythm across the alphabet. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary: capitals are wide and stable, while lowercase forms show generous counters and clear joins (notably in n, m, and h). Numerals are straightforward and sturdy, matching the letterforms with simple geometry and consistent weight.
Well-suited for interface copy, dashboards, and general digital typography where consistent rhythm and clear shapes matter. It can also work for editorial headlines and subheads, wayfinding and signage, and straightforward brand systems that need a dependable, contemporary sans without strong stylistic baggage.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, with a slightly friendly character coming from the rounded forms and open interiors. It feels utilitarian rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and calm authority without appearing cold or overly technical.
Designed as a general-purpose sans focused on clarity, even texture, and broadly usable proportions. The rounded construction and open counters suggest an intention to remain highly readable while projecting a modern, approachable neutrality.
The design emphasizes legibility through open shapes (e.g., C, G, e) and clear differentiation between similar forms. The lowercase g appears single-storey, reinforcing an approachable, contemporary feel, and the punctuation in the sample text reads cleanly at large sizes.
