A clean sans with gently rounded curves and largely uniform stroke thickness. Round letters are close to circular with smooth joins, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated, producing a steady, even color in text. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and terminals are mostly straight or softly squared, keeping shapes simple and legible. Overall proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, with clear, practical letterforms across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to interfaces, product copy, dashboards, and other settings where clarity and consistency are priorities. It also works for general-purpose editorial or corporate materials—presentations, documentation, and informational print—where a neutral sans is needed for sustained reading.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded bowls and open forms. It reads as straightforward and matter-of-fact rather than expressive, making it feel dependable and unobtrusive in communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity, even texture, and broad usability. Its restrained geometry and open counters aim to stay readable while remaining visually minimal and contemporary.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a calm rhythm at paragraph sizes, with smooth curves that avoid sharp quirks. Numerals follow the same simple construction, aligning well with the letterforms for mixed content.
