A clean sans with largely monoline strokes and softly rounded joins that keep the texture even and calm. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase e), while straight stems remain crisp and vertical. Proportions lean slightly geometric, with open apertures and generous internal counters that help letters stay distinct in running text. Terminals are mostly flat or gently eased, and punctuation and numerals share the same straightforward, uncluttered construction.
Well-suited to UI text and product surfaces where clarity and consistency matter, and it also holds up in paragraphs thanks to its open counters and even rhythm. It can serve as a dependable choice for editorial layouts, presentations, and straightforward signage where a contemporary, unobtrusive voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a friendly edge coming from the rounded forms and open spacing. It reads as practical and approachable rather than stylized or expressive, making it feel at home in contemporary, system-like interfaces and general-purpose communication.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, contemporary sans that prioritizes legibility and visual neutrality. Its geometric-leaning curves and restrained detailing aim to provide a clean, versatile texture that works across sizes and contexts without drawing attention to itself.
The uppercase set presents simple, balanced silhouettes with minimal idiosyncrasies, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes (such as c/e and i/j/l). Numerals follow the same smooth, rounded geometry, keeping a consistent rhythm alongside text.
