A restrained sans with smooth, circular bowls and clean terminals. Strokes are even and unmodulated, with generous counters and clear apertures that keep forms open. Curves read as near-geometric (notably in C, O, and Q), while straight-sided letters like E, F, H, and N stay crisp and orderly. The lowercase is compact and tidy, with simple single-storey forms (a, g) and a modest, unobtrusive join structure that preserves legibility at text sizes.
Works well for interface copy, product and web typography, and general-purpose editorial text where a clean, modern texture is needed. Its open counters and uncomplicated shapes also suit signage and labels that benefit from quick recognition.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, leaning toward a quiet “designed” neutrality. Its geometry and even rhythm give it a systematic, interface-friendly feel rather than an expressive or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse: a clear, geometric-leaning sans that prioritizes consistency, readability, and a neutral voice across headings and paragraph text.
Round characters maintain consistent curvature and spacing, producing a steady texture in running text. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the letterforms’ simplified construction and open interior spaces.
