A clean sans with an even, low-contrast stroke and predominantly rounded, geometric construction. Curves are smooth and close to circular in forms like O, C, and G, while terminals are mostly straight and crisp, giving the design a tidy, contemporary finish. Proportions feel balanced with a straightforward, unforced rhythm across lines of text; counters are open and generous, supporting clear letter separation. The numerals follow the same simple geometry, with consistent stroke weight and clear silhouettes at display and text sizes.
Well-suited for user interfaces, product and corporate branding, and general-purpose editorial typography where clarity is paramount. Its clean shapes and open counters also make it a solid choice for signage, infographics, and presentations that need quick, confident reading at varying sizes.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, projecting clarity and practicality rather than strong personality. Rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans: simple geometry, consistent weight, and unobtrusive details aimed at dependable legibility across continuous text and display settings. It prioritizes a contemporary, broadly compatible voice that can sit comfortably in many visual systems.
Capitals present a stable, signage-like presence with broad, simple shapes, while lowercase maintains a smooth, readable flow in paragraphs. The design relies on consistent curves and clean joins, avoiding decorative quirks in favor of predictable, legible forms.
