A clean sans with a slightly geometric skeleton and evenly weighted strokes. Curves are smooth and fairly circular in O/C/G, while straights stay crisp with minimal modulation, creating a steady, low-drama texture in paragraphs. Proportions feel open and contemporary, with generous counters and a notably tall lowercase structure; capitals are simple and restrained. Details like the single-storey a and g, the compact, rounded dot on i/j, and straightforward figures reinforce a practical, neutral build.
Well suited to interface copy, dashboards, and product text where clarity at small-to-medium sizes matters. It also works for signage and wayfinding thanks to open forms, and for editorial or presentation layouts where a neutral, contemporary voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian with a friendly edge from the rounded shapes and open counters. It reads as calm and matter-of-fact rather than expressive, projecting clarity and everyday usability.
Designed to deliver a dependable, contemporary sans voice with strong legibility and a tidy, geometric-leaning construction. The choices in lowercase forms and numerals suggest an emphasis on straightforward reading and broad everyday application rather than decorative character.
The slanted, back-leaning stance gives lines a subtle sense of motion without disrupting legibility. Spacing appears even in running text, with a consistent rhythm across mixed case and numerals.
