This sans serif has smooth, round-built forms with low stroke modulation and a clear, even rhythm. Proportions feel broadly set and airy, with a tall x-height that keeps lowercase shapes prominent and readable. Curves are clean and continuous, terminals are mostly plain and rounded, and joins stay uncomplicated, giving the letterforms a straightforward, contemporary texture. Counters are open and apertures are generous, helping the design stay legible in both the grid and paragraph sample.
It suits user interfaces and web typography where clarity at small-to-medium sizes matters, and it scales comfortably for headings thanks to its open shapes and steady stroke behavior. The wide feel and tall lowercase also make it a strong choice for presentations, product pages, and general editorial layouts where a clean, contemporary voice is needed.
The overall tone is neutral and modern with a mild friendliness from the rounded shapes and open apertures. It reads as practical and approachable rather than sharp or formal, making it feel at home in everyday digital and brand contexts.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency. Its round construction and generous apertures suggest an emphasis on easy reading and a calm, modern presence across a range of sizes.
The figures are lining and simple in construction, matching the letters’ restrained geometry. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar shapes (like i/l and c/e), and the punctuation and diacritics shown keep to the same clean, minimal vocabulary.
