A clean, geometric sans with round counters and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves are smooth and circular in forms like O/C/G, while straight-sided letters keep crisp, uncluttered joins. The lowercase is simple and readable with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a straightforward t, producing an even texture in text. Numerals are plain and contemporary, with consistent proportions and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to interface and product text where clarity at a range of sizes matters, and to web and editorial layouts needing a calm, consistent sans. Its straightforward shapes also work for signage and wayfinding, and for contemporary branding systems that prefer a neutral, geometric voice.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, with a friendly softness from the circular forms and open counters. It feels practical and approachable rather than stylized, aiming for clarity and an unobtrusive presence in reading environments.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and a clean geometric construction. It balances strict circular geometry with practical letterforms to keep paragraphs smooth and easy to scan.
Counters stay open and generous, and terminals tend toward clean, squared endings rather than calligraphic shaping. The design maintains a steady rhythm across mixed-case text, with punctuation and figures blending in without drawing attention.
