A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Uppercase forms are simple and open, with circular bowls and straightforward joins; the lowercase follows the same logic with a two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g.” Terminals are mostly straight-cut, and the overall rhythm is even, with clear counters and generous interior space that keeps shapes from clogging. Numerals are similarly uncomplicated and rounded, matching the letterforms’ restrained, consistent construction.
Well-suited to interface typography, product copy, and general-purpose print and screen settings where a clean, modern voice is needed. It should also perform well in wayfinding and presentation materials thanks to its open shapes and straightforward letter construction.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, leaning toward a practical, tech-friendly feel rather than expressive or decorative. Its smooth geometry and restrained details read as calm and orderly, while the rounded curves add a mild friendliness.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency through geometric construction and minimal detailing. It aims to provide an unobtrusive typographic color that can support a wide range of content without calling attention to itself.
Curved letters (C, O, Q, S) emphasize near-circular geometry, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest a stable, uncluttered texture in paragraphs. Diacritics or stylistic alternates are not shown in the provided images.
