A clean sans with a gently geometric build: rounded bowls and counters paired with straight stems and flat terminals. Curves are smooth and even, with low stroke modulation and a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel slightly expansive, with broad rounds (O, C) and open apertures (notably in c, e, s), supporting clarity in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and simple joins that keep forms crisp and uncluttered; figures are similarly plain with straightforward shapes and open interior space.
Well suited to interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose editorial settings where consistent texture and clear counters matter. It can also support understated branding and signage, especially when a modern, approachable sans is needed without overt stylistic flair.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, projecting a practical, no-nonsense voice without feeling cold. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness that suits everyday editorial and product communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile workhorse sans: simple geometric foundations, open forms for readability, and restrained detailing to stay legible and predictable across a range of sizes and contexts.
Capitals read steady and authoritative with generous interior space, while lowercase maintains a smooth, even texture in longer lines. The punctuation in the sample text (apostrophe, ampersand, question mark) follows the same simple, sturdy construction, keeping the style cohesive.
