A clean sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are even and steady, with open counters and clear joins that keep shapes crisp at both display and text sizes. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with a tall lowercase presence and straightforward, unmodulated terminals. The figures share the same simple, circular logic, staying consistent in width and rhythm alongside the letters.
Works well for user interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose layouts where clarity and consistency are important. Its clean geometry also suits branding systems, signage, and presentation graphics that need a modern, straightforward sans.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly neutrality that avoids overt personality. Its restrained geometry and steady rhythm give it a dependable, contemporary voice suited to functional communication.
Designed to provide a versatile, contemporary sans optimized for clear reading and broad applicability. The emphasis appears to be on geometric simplicity, consistent stroke behavior, and a stable rhythm that supports everything from headings to longer text.
Spacing and rhythm read as even and predictable, helping long lines hold together without visual noise. Letterforms lean toward simple, archetypal shapes, prioritizing clarity over stylistic quirks.
