A crisp sans with an airy, open build and round, geometric curves paired with straight, clean terminals. Strokes stay mostly even with subtle modulation, and the forms favor generous apertures and clear countershapes for legibility. Proportions read slightly expanded, with ample internal space and a straightforward, uncluttered rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same restrained, rounded construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters in tone and color.
Well-suited to interface copy, product branding systems, and general-purpose editorial typography where a clean, unobtrusive voice is preferred. The open counters and straightforward forms also make it a solid option for wayfinding and display lines that need to stay clear at a distance, as well as slides and dashboards where consistent readability matters.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, aiming for clarity over personality. Its open shapes and restrained drawing give it a calm, efficient feel that can read as quietly technical or editorial depending on layout and spacing.
Designed to provide a modern, versatile sans voice with emphasis on clarity, spacing, and an even typographic color. The drawing choices suggest an intention to work reliably across a range of sizes, from UI and body text to larger headlines, without introducing strong stylistic quirks.
The lowercase shows a pragmatic, text-oriented construction with simple joins and unobtrusive detailing, keeping attention on the word shape. Round letters (like o/c/e) appear smooth and balanced, while diagonals (like v/w/x) remain sharp and neatly controlled, helping maintain an even texture across lines.
