A clean sans with a geometric foundation and softly rounded curves. Strokes are even and consistent, with circular and elliptical bowls that create generous counters and clear interior space. Terminals are mostly straight and crisp, while curves stay smooth and controlled, producing a tidy, contemporary rhythm. Uppercase forms feel structured and stable; lowercase is simple and utilitarian with single-story shapes where expected (notably the “g”), a compact overall profile, and straightforward punctuation and numerals.
Well-suited to interface copy, product and brand systems, and general-purpose editorial typography where clarity and a modern feel are desired. The open counters and even stroke weight support comfortable reading in paragraphs, while the straightforward shapes also work for labels, navigation, and functional signage.
The tone is modern and neutral, leaning slightly friendly due to the roundness and open forms. It reads as calm and matter-of-fact rather than expressive, giving text a clear, contemporary voice suitable for everyday interface and editorial settings.
Designed to be a versatile, contemporary workhorse with geometric regularity and minimal stylistic noise. The emphasis appears to be on clear letterforms, consistent rhythm, and broad usability across both display and text contexts.
Curves and straight segments meet cleanly, and many letters show open, readable apertures that help separation at small to medium sizes. Numerals share the same geometric logic, with round figures and uncomplicated construction that keeps sequences looking even and uncluttered.
