A clean sans with broadly rounded bowls and smooth curves paired with straight, assertive stems. Capitals are wide and evenly proportioned, with generous internal counters in letters like O, D, and B that keep the texture open at display sizes. Terminals are mostly flat and crisp, while round characters maintain a circular, geometric feel; diagonals (V, W, Y) are sturdy and symmetrical. Lowercase forms are simple and readable, with a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and compact, well-contained joins that produce an even rhythm in running text.
It suits interface typography and product communication where clarity and a neutral voice are needed, and it also performs well in branding systems that favor modern, geometric simplicity. The wide capitals and open counters make it a strong choice for headlines, signage, and presentation graphics, while the steady rhythm supports short to medium passages of editorial text.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward, projecting clarity and approachability without feeling playful or ornate. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, while the firm verticals and clean terminals keep it professional and utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern sans that balances geometric roundness with practical readability. It aims to deliver a clean, consistent texture across mixed-case text while retaining a friendly, contemporary character for display applications.
The typeface shows consistent stroke behavior across curves and straights, with numerals that match the letterforms’ open counters and stable, grounded shapes. The Q’s tail and the clean, uncluttered lowercase details support legibility and a calm typographic color in paragraphs.
