A clean geometric sans with rounded bowls and smoothly drawn curves paired with straight, matter-of-fact terminals. Strokes stay visually even with minimal modulation, creating a steady color and predictable rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are broad and simple, with open shapes in C/G/S and a straightforward, circular O; diagonals in A/V/W/X are crisp and stable. Lowercase has a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and open counters that keep word shapes clear at text sizes.
Well-suited to interface typography, product and corporate branding, and wayfinding where clarity and consistency matter. It also works comfortably in editorial layouts and presentation graphics thanks to its even texture and straightforward letterforms.
The overall tone is contemporary and neutral, leaning practical rather than expressive. Its smooth geometry and open forms add a mild friendliness, while the restrained detailing keeps it businesslike and efficient.
Designed to deliver a dependable, contemporary sans appearance with geometric simplicity and strong legibility. The intent appears to prioritize versatility across headings and body text while maintaining a calm, modern voice.
Figures are simple and modern, matching the letterforms without drawing attention; the 0 is clean and unadorned. The generous interior spaces and uncluttered joins help maintain clarity across mixed-case settings and longer passages.
