A clean sans with geometric underpinnings and softly rounded curves. Strokes are uniform and steady, with smooth joins and open apertures that keep counters clear at text sizes. Proportions run on the broader side, giving letters generous interior space and a calm horizontal rhythm. Terminals are mostly straight and uncluttered, while curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) read as circular and consistent. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g), with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation.
This font suits interface labels, dashboards, and general-purpose screen typography where clarity and even color are important. The broader proportions and clean geometry also work well for short headlines, wayfinding/signage, and contemporary brand systems that need a neutral, dependable sans.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly clarity that feels contemporary rather than expressive. Its broad, open forms suggest a practical, UI-ready sensibility, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and non-stern.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: simple construction, consistent geometry, and high legibility across mixed-case text and numerals, with enough width and openness to stay readable in everyday layouts.
Capitals appear engineered and stable, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (I, J, L) via distinct terminals and curvature. Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ open counters and even stroke color.
