A clean geometric sans with smooth circular curves, open counters, and consistent stroke weight. Letterforms feel spacious and stable, with generous interior space in rounds like O, C, and G and straightforward, unmodulated joins. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a simple, functional t; dots are round and punctuation is plain. Numerals are clear and contemporary, with an open, readable 4 and balanced curves in 6/8/9.
Works well for interfaces, dashboards, and product copy where clarity and steady rhythm matter. The wide, open shapes also suit signage and headings, and it remains comfortable for longer editorial passages at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as calm, efficient, and quietly contemporary rather than expressive or decorative.
Likely drawn to provide a versatile, general-purpose sans with geometric structure and high readability. The restrained details and open forms suggest an emphasis on neutrality, consistency, and clear on-screen and print performance.
Curves and straight segments transition smoothly, giving text an even color and predictable rhythm. The design favors clarity over idiosyncratic details, and the wide stance keeps letters from feeling crowded in longer lines.
