A solid, monoline sans with broadly geometric construction and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes are even and weighty with minimal modulation, while counters stay open and clear, giving the letters a stable, high-contrast-on-white presence. Uppercase forms are wide and calm with circular O/Q and a straightforward, balanced S; lowercase shows simple, contemporary shapes including a two-storey a and a single-storey g. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, creating a consistent rhythm across words and strong readability at display sizes.
Well-suited to brand wordmarks, headlines, and marketing copy where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. Its open shapes and uniform stroke behavior also make it a solid option for interface labels, navigation, and signage that must remain legible at a range of sizes and viewing distances.
The overall tone is modern and dependable, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded bowls and generous apertures. It feels practical and no-nonsense rather than expressive or decorative, projecting clarity and confidence in headlines and short text.
Designed to deliver a clear, modern sans voice with geometric underpinnings and a friendly roundness, prioritizing straightforward readability and consistent texture in display and general-purpose typography.
The numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the letterforms with rounded curves and simple joins. The sample text shows even color and spacing that reads smoothly, with particularly strong performance in bold, prominent settings.
