A clean, upright sans with gently flared terminals and subtle stroke modulation that gives the letters a slightly calligraphic, humanist feel without becoming decorative. Curves are round and smooth with open apertures (notably in c/e), and joins are tidy, keeping counters clear at text sizes. Proportions are balanced with a moderate cap height and a straightforward, readable lowercase; the figures appear lining with a round, open “0” and a simple, legible “1.” Overall rhythm is even and steady, with careful spacing and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Well-suited to editorial layouts and brand systems that need a modern, understated voice with a touch of refinement. It should perform reliably in UI copy and product information where clarity matters, and it can scale up cleanly for signage, packaging, and headlines without feeling stark.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, leaning refined and editorial rather than technical. The slight contrast and softened terminals add warmth and polish, making it feel approachable while still professional and composed.
The font appears designed to provide an all-purpose sans that remains neutral and highly readable, while using subtle contrast and tapered terminals to add sophistication and a more human, crafted texture than a purely geometric sans.
The design avoids sharp geometric rigidity: bowls and shoulders feel slightly organic, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read cleanly without looking overly mechanical. The uppercase maintains a restrained presence suitable for headings, while the lowercase stays clear and unobtrusive for continuous reading.
