A clean sans with monolinear strokes, smooth curves, and largely geometric construction. Round letters (C, O, Q) read as near-circular with generous counters, while straight-sided forms keep a steady, even texture across lines. Terminals are plain and unembellished, with open apertures in letters like c, e, and s that support clarity at text sizes. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary shapes with a two-storey a, a compact, functional g, and a straightforward t with a short crossbar; figures are clear and unadorned with an open-top 4 and a simple, balanced 0–9 set.
Well-suited for interface copy, product UI, and general-purpose layouts where a steady, unobtrusive texture is desired. It should also work for wayfinding and signage, as well as presentations and contemporary brand systems that need a clean sans with friendly geometry.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry gives it a mildly friendly, approachable feel, while the steady stroke and spacing keep it professional and utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a dependable, modern workhorse sans: simple outlines, consistent rhythm, and open forms aimed at easy scanning in paragraphs and clear reading in functional contexts.
Spacing appears even and consistent, producing a smooth line color in the sample text. Capitals are broad and stable, and the punctuation and numerals sit comfortably with the letterforms without drawing attention.
