A clean sans with geometric underpinnings and gently rounded curves. Strokes are monolinear with smooth joins and largely uniform terminals, producing an even, steady texture in paragraphs. Proportions feel generous and open, with rounded bowls and clear apertures that keep counters spacious. The overall rhythm is consistent across upper- and lowercase, and the figures follow the same straightforward, contemporary construction.
Well-suited to interface copy, dashboards, and web typography where clarity and a steady reading rhythm are priorities. It also works for editorial layouts, corporate communications, and wayfinding or signage where a clean, contemporary sans is needed.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly, approachable neutrality rather than a stylized or expressive voice. Its calm geometry and uncluttered forms communicate clarity and practicality, making it feel contemporary without calling attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency through simple geometry and open spacing. It aims to provide a dependable visual baseline for modern branding and everyday text setting.
In the sample text, the wide set and open interior spaces help maintain legibility at larger display sizes and in longer lines. Curved letters (like C, O, S) read smooth and balanced, while straight-sided forms (like E, F, L, T) stay crisp, reinforcing a clean, engineered look.
