A clean, geometric sans with smooth, near-circular bowls and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves are round and steady, with minimal modulation, and joins stay simple and uncluttered. Counters are open and spacious, and terminals are mostly straight-cut, keeping edges crisp. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with a straightforward lowercase that reads clearly alongside compact, stable capitals and tabular-looking numerals.
This font suits interface copy, product and SaaS branding, wayfinding and informational signage, and editorial layouts that need a straightforward, contemporary sans. It also performs well for presentations and dashboards where clarity and even texture are priorities.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, leaning practical rather than expressive. Its rounded construction adds a mild friendliness, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and matter-of-fact.
The design appears intended as an all-purpose workhorse sans: geometrically tidy, highly legible, and visually calm. It aims to provide a dependable, modern texture that can support a wide range of content without imposing a strong stylistic voice.
The design maintains consistent spacing and rhythm across the alphabet, with clear differentiation between similar forms through open apertures and distinct interior shapes. The figures appear clean and utilitarian, matching the letterforms without calling attention to themselves.
