A clean sans with broadly geometric construction and gently rounded curves. Strokes are even and consistent, with smooth joins and terminals that read as cut cleanly rather than calligraphic. Counters are open and fairly generous, helping characters stay clear in continuous text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and balanced, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-story shapes where expected and maintains a steady, unbroken rhythm across words and lines.
This font is well suited to interface copy, documentation, and general-purpose layouts where clarity and consistency are priorities. It should perform well in paragraphs at small to medium sizes, and its straightforward shapes also make it practical for navigation, signage, and data-heavy displays.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness without becoming informal, giving it a dependable, everyday voice suited to information-first typography.
The design appears intended as a versatile, no-nonsense sans for broad everyday use—prioritizing legibility, stable proportions, and a modern, unobtrusive presence that integrates easily into many visual systems.
Figures are simple and highly readable, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a consistent alignment on the baseline. Overall spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting smooth scanning in paragraphs as well as short labels.
