A clean, monoline sans with largely circular and elliptical construction and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with squared terminals on many verticals and horizontals, producing a crisp, contemporary texture. Capitals are straightforward and balanced, with broad bowls and generous counters; the lowercase follows a two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g,” keeping forms familiar and highly legible. Numerals are clear and workmanlike, with simple shapes and consistent stroke weight that match the text color.
This font suits interface copy, product text, and general-purpose body settings where even color and high legibility are required. It also performs well for headings, wayfinding, and presentation slides thanks to its clean geometry and strong readability at larger sizes.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry and open forms give it an approachable, user-friendly feel without becoming informal.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary sans for everyday communication, using geometric roundness and consistent stroke weight to achieve a clear, versatile typographic voice.
Letterforms maintain a steady rhythm in text, with clean joins and minimal idiosyncrasies. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q appear smoothly drawn and well balanced, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and stable at display sizes.
