A clean, sans serif with a geometric leaning and smooth, low-modulation strokes. Curves are round and well-controlled with generous internal space, giving letters large counters and clear silhouettes. The proportions feel slightly expanded, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps text dense and readable. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while joins stay crisp and consistent, producing an even typographic color across lines.
Well-suited for interface typography, product labeling, and informational layouts where quick scanning matters. The spacious shapes and tall lowercase make it comfortable for editorial body copy and system-style applications, while the straightforward geometry also supports restrained, modern branding.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, emphasizing clarity over personality. Its broad forms and open shapes create an approachable, no-nonsense voice that reads as practical and modern.
Designed to be a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency. The geometry and open construction suggest an aim toward contemporary communication across both display and text settings without strong stylistic affectation.
The sample text shows steady spacing and a uniform rhythm, with rounded bowls (e.g., o, e) and open apertures (notably in c and s) helping prevent clogging at larger paragraph sizes. Numerals appear simple and utilitarian, matching the letterforms without calling attention to themselves.
