A clean sans with largely circular and elliptical construction, smooth joins, and consistent stroke thickness. Letterforms favor open apertures and straightforward geometry, with rounded bowls, a simple single‑storey “g,” and an uncomplicated, highly legible lowercase. Spacing and proportions feel balanced and steady, producing an even text color in paragraphs while retaining clear differentiation in capitals and numerals.
Well suited to interface copy, product and brand supporting typography, and general editorial text where a quiet, dependable voice is needed. Its even rhythm and open forms also make it a solid choice for wayfinding, labels, dashboards, and presentation typography.
The overall tone is modern and neutral with a mild friendliness coming from the rounded curves and open shapes. It reads as practical and unfussy rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and calm consistency.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency across sizes. Its rounded geometric foundation and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clear communication in contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms are crisp and direct, while the lowercase introduces a slightly softer rhythm through rounded terminals and generous counters. Numerals appear straightforward and readable, matching the text’s steady color and avoiding decorative quirks.
