A clean sans with a geometric backbone and softly rounded curves. Strokes are even and steady, with generous counters and open apertures that keep forms clear at text sizes. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and spacious, while lowercase letters show simple, contemporary constructions (notably a single-storey “g”) and a consistent, un-fussy rhythm. Terminals are mostly clean and direct, and overall spacing feels comfortable, supporting an airy, readable texture.
This font suits interface typography, product and brand systems that need a clean baseline, and editorial or corporate body copy where consistent texture and legibility are priorities. Its open forms and straightforward letterfit also make it a dependable choice for wayfinding and informational graphics, as well as decks and reports.
The tone is modern and neutral, aiming for clarity over personality. Rounded geometry and open forms add a mild friendliness, while the overall restraint keeps it professional and utilitarian rather than expressive.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse: a geometric-leaning sans optimized for clarity and broad usability. It prioritizes simple constructions, open counters, and consistent spacing to perform reliably across a range of everyday reading and UI contexts.
Figures follow the same simple, open construction as the letters, with clear differentiation between shapes and a calm, even color in running text. The sample paragraph suggests stable word shapes and consistent proportions across mixed case, punctuation, and numerals.
