A clean sans with largely circular and elliptical bowls, uniform stroke weight, and crisp, mostly straight terminals. Proportions lean broad with generous internal counters, producing open, readable forms. Curves are smoothly drawn and consistent across round letters, while diagonals in characters like A, V, W, X, and Y are sturdy and evenly weighted. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey a and g, with compact shoulders and a straightforward, no-nonsense construction overall.
It suits interface typography, product labeling, and general-purpose editorial settings where clarity and steady rhythm matter. The broad proportions and open counters also make it a good candidate for signage and short-to-medium headlines, while remaining restrained enough for contemporary brand systems.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a calm neutrality that feels approachable rather than stylized. Its geometric roundness lends a mild friendliness, while the even rhythm and firm shapes keep it businesslike and dependable.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency, offering a modern, neutral voice for everyday communication across print and screen.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, with clear word shapes and strong figure presence. The numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the letters’ smooth curves and consistent stroke behavior without drawing attention to decorative quirks.
