A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broadly circular bowls. Curves are smooth and consistent, with rounded terminals on many forms and only occasional flat cuts (notably on E/F/T and some diagonals). Uppercase shapes feel structurally simple and steady, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, highly legible construction with open apertures and uncluttered joins. Numerals are similarly plain and rounded, matching the letterforms’ even color and spacing.
Well-suited to interface copy, product and corporate branding, and general editorial layouts where clarity and a steady rhythm are needed. Its clean geometry also works for signage and presentations, holding up well in short headings and longer blocks of text.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a slightly friendly softness coming from the rounded curves and restrained detailing. It reads as practical and approachable rather than expressive or decorative, lending a calm, matter-of-fact voice to text.
The design appears aimed at a broadly usable, contemporary sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency, using simple geometric construction and gentle rounding to stay approachable without calling attention to itself.
Diagonal letters like A, V, W, and X have crisp angles that contrast subtly with the otherwise rounded vocabulary, creating a balanced, uncluttered texture. The sample text shows stable word shapes and a consistent typographic color at larger sizes, with punctuation and figures integrating smoothly into running copy.
