A geometric sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded curves, built from simple circular and straight components. Counters are open and generous, with a notably round O and near-circular bowls in b/d/p/q. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while junctions remain crisp, giving a tidy rhythm in text. Proportions are balanced and slightly airy, with clear spacing that keeps lines from feeling dense at typical UI and editorial sizes.
Works well for interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose reading where a clean, even texture is needed. Its open shapes and consistent stroke behavior also make it suitable for wayfinding, dashboards, and contemporary brand systems that favor geometric simplicity.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, aiming for clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry reads approachable and orderly, with a subtle technical feel suited to systems and information-forward design.
The design appears intended as a neutral geometric workhorse: simple outlines, predictable proportions, and consistent curves that prioritize legibility and a modern, system-friendly appearance across headings and continuous text.
Uppercase forms stay restrained and geometric, while lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with simple shoulders and bowls. Numerals appear lining and cleanly drawn, matching the same circular logic as the letterforms for a consistent typographic color.
