A clean, contemporary sans with generous proportions and smooth curve construction. Strokes are even and steady, with softly rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture calm rather than sharp. Counters are large and open, and key apertures in letters like c, e, and s remain clear, supporting readability. The uppercase has straightforward geometry with balanced widths, while the lowercase shows subtly humanist details (notably in the two-storey a and the angled shoulder of r), creating a natural rhythm in text. Figures are simple and modern, with clear differentiation and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Well-suited for user interfaces, web content, and editorial layouts where clarity at a range of sizes matters. The open forms and steady rhythm also make it a strong choice for signage and wayfinding, as well as brand systems that need a modern, unobtrusive sans for both headlines and body copy.
The overall tone is neutral and approachable—modern without feeling cold, and confident without calling attention to itself. It conveys clarity and everyday practicality, with a slightly friendly softness coming from the rounded curves and open shapes.
Designed to be a dependable, general-purpose sans that reads smoothly in continuous text while remaining crisp and composed in display settings. The forms aim for clarity and consistency, with subtle humanist shaping to keep long passages comfortable.
Spacing appears even and comfortable in the sample text, producing a smooth grayscale and stable line texture. Distinctive cues include a clean, open-top 4, a straightforward 1 with a small flag-like top, and an uppercase Q with a short external tail, all reinforcing a contemporary, utilitarian character.
