A clean sans with largely geometric construction and gently rounded terminals. Strokes stay even throughout, with broad curves on C/O/S and straightforward, unmodulated joins. Counters are open and circular, the overall rhythm is steady, and spacing reads balanced without feeling tight. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary forms (single‑storey a and g), while capitals remain plain and sturdy with clear diagonals and minimal idiosyncrasy.
Well suited to interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose editorial settings where a clean, contemporary sans is needed. Its even stroke and open forms make it a good choice for headings and short-to-medium text, as well as signage and wayfinding where quick recognition matters.
The tone is modern and neutral with a mild friendliness from the roundness of bowls and terminals. It feels utilitarian rather than expressive—confident, calm, and unobtrusive—making it easy to pair with stronger visual elements.
Likely designed as a versatile, contemporary workhorse with geometric influence: clear letterforms, stable rhythm, and minimal stylistic noise. The aim appears to be dependable readability and broad applicability across digital and print contexts.
Round letters (O, Q, C) appear close to perfect circles, and the font keeps a consistent curvature language across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Numerals are straightforward and readable, with smooth curves on 2/3/5 and a simple, open 4 and 7. The overall impression prioritizes clarity and consistency over stylistic flair.
