A clean, geometric sans with largely circular bowls and smoothly drawn curves paired with straight, even strokes. Terminals are predominantly squared-off, giving a crisp finish, while round forms (O, C, G, e, o) stay consistent and balanced. Counters are open and simple, and spacing feels orderly, producing an even text color in running copy. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, with clear shapes and minimal stylistic quirks.
This font suits interface labels, documentation, and general-purpose body text where clarity and steady rhythm matter. Its clean geometry and open counters also make it a solid choice for signage, slides, and straightforward brand systems that need a modern, unobtrusive typographic voice.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for clarity more than personality. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, but the crisp terminals keep it professional and matter-of-fact. The result reads as dependable and modern without feeling trendy.
The design appears intended as a versatile everyday sans: built from simple geometric structures, kept visually consistent, and optimized for clear reading in continuous text. It prioritizes legibility and neutrality while retaining a subtly rounded, approachable character.
The uppercase set leans geometric with wide, stable proportions, while the lowercase maintains clear distinctions between similar forms (e.g., i/l and o/0) through simple, conventional shapes. The design favors uncluttered letterforms and predictable rhythm, which helps it stay calm and consistent across mixed-case text and numerals.
