A clean, rounded sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are even and sturdy with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a stable, consistent color in text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and open, while the lowercase shows a simple double-storey “a” paired with a single-storey “g,” contributing to a contemporary, workmanlike feel. Terminals are mostly flat and crisply cut, with generous counters and clear apertures that help maintain clarity at display and text sizes.
It suits interface typography, product and system design, and wayfinding where a clear, even texture is important. The sturdy shapes and open counters also make it a reliable choice for editorial subheads, captions, and straightforward branding that needs to feel contemporary without calling attention to the type.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded bowls and open shapes. It reads as practical and direct rather than expressive, making it feel dependable and familiar across many contexts.
This design appears intended as a general-purpose sans optimized for clarity and consistency, combining geometric roundness with familiar, readable lowercase forms. The emphasis is on neutrality, dependable spacing, and a versatile voice that can serve both functional communication and everyday graphic design.
The rhythm is steady and predictable, with balanced proportions across rounds and straights. Numerals are bold and uncomplicated, matching the same geometric logic as the letters for a unified typographic voice.
