A clean sans with monoline construction and generous internal space. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p), while straight strokes stay crisp and even. Terminals tend to be rounded or softly finished, and joins are unobtrusive, creating an overall calm rhythm. Proportions read spacious with relatively open counters and clear separation between characters in running text.
Well-suited to interface text, product pages, and general-purpose body copy where a calm, contemporary sans is desired. Its open shapes and even strokes also fit signage and informational layouts, and it performs cleanly in presentations and corporate communications.
The tone is modern and restrained, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels practical and contemporary rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and an unobtrusive voice. The overall impression is approachable and “clean UI” in spirit.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and a tidy, contemporary texture. By pairing circular geometry with soft terminals and unobtrusive details, it aims to remain neutral in tone while still feeling approachable in everyday reading contexts.
Letterforms favor openness and simplicity: apertures in forms like e/c are generous, and the lowercase g appears in a simple single-storey style. Numerals follow the same geometric, even-stroke approach, keeping a consistent color in text. The design stays visually stable across mixed-case settings without sharp calligraphic accents.
