This typeface is a clean, geometric sans with round, smoothly drawn bowls and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Curves are close to circular and the joins are tidy, with minimal modulation and a consistent rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, a compact, hook-like r, and simple, straight-sided stems that end in crisp, squared terminals. Counters are generally open and generous, and the figures follow the same straightforward, modern construction.
It performs well in interface text and product UI where clean shapes and open counters support quick scanning. The solid, even texture also suits brand systems, wayfinding and signage, and editorial settings from headings down to comfortable paragraph sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a friendly clarity that reads as modern rather than expressive. Its restrained geometry and even color give it a dependable, utilitarian voice suited to information-forward design.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency, using geometric construction to create a modern, system-friendly texture across letters and numbers.
Uppercase forms feel stable and well-balanced, with rounded shapes (C, G, O, Q) appearing especially smooth and consistent. The numerals are plain and readable, matching the letterforms without decorative quirks.
