A clean sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth monoline strokes. Curves are near-circular with open apertures and generous counters, producing an airy rhythm. Terminals are mostly straight or softly finished, and the overall proportions feel slightly expanded, with broad rounds in letters like O/C/Q and balanced, simple diagonals in V/W/X. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with a single-storey a and g and compact, unobtrusive details on joins and shoulders.
Well-suited to interface typography, product branding, and general-purpose editorial layouts where clarity and a contemporary feel are needed. Its open forms and even color also make it a strong option for signage, dashboards, and presentation typography at both text and headline sizes.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a neutral, functional voice with a subtle friendliness from its round forms. It reads calm and confident rather than expressive, giving text a clear, modern presence without feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans that prioritizes legibility and a smooth, geometric consistency. Rounded construction and restrained details suggest a goal of being broadly usable while maintaining a friendly, contemporary character.
Numerals follow the same rounded geometry and keep consistent stroke color, pairing well with the lowercase in running text. The spacing and shapes stay disciplined across the set, supporting even texture in paragraphs and clean silhouettes in display settings.
