A clean sans with a geometric skeleton and gently rounded curves. Strokes are even and slender, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving letters a crisp, uncluttered texture. Counters are open and mostly circular/elliptical, and the proportions feel balanced without exaggerated width. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and a looped “g”, while capitals keep straightforward, symmetrical construction; overall spacing reads airy and consistent in running text.
Works well for interface typography, editorial body text, and general-purpose communication where a clean, contemporary sans is needed. It also suits modern branding systems and signage that benefit from open forms and an even, quiet typographic color.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, leaning toward an understated, friendly clarity rather than personality-driven display styling. Its restrained forms and soft rounding make it feel approachable and quiet, suitable for polished, minimal layouts.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse: simple geometry, minimal stylistic quirks, and consistent curves that keep text readable and visually calm across a range of sizes.
Curved characters (C, G, O, Q, S) maintain smooth, near-circular outlines, supporting a cohesive rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same simple geometry, with clear distinctions and generous interior space that helps maintain legibility at smaller sizes.
