A clean, geometric-leaning sans with smooth, circular bowls and consistently rounded curves. Stroke weight is even and steady, with crisp joins and mostly squared or softly rounded terminals depending on the stroke direction. Proportions feel generous and readable: caps are broad, lowercase forms are open, and round letters (O, C, G, e) maintain a stable, near-circular construction. The lowercase a is single-storey, while letters like t and f use simple, compact crossbars that keep the silhouette uncluttered; overall spacing is roomy and the texture stays uniform in paragraphs.
It works well for interface copy, product screens, and information design where clarity and even rhythm are priorities. The steady shapes and open counters also suit editorial layouts, corporate branding systems, and slide decks that need a neutral, modern sans that scales comfortably from headings to longer text.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward, with a calm neutrality that avoids both techy sharpness and overt humanist warmth. Its rounded geometry and open forms give it an approachable, matter-of-fact voice suited to clear communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans focused on legibility and consistent geometric structure. Its simplified forms and open spacing suggest an emphasis on clear, contemporary communication across both display and text settings.
In the sample text, the font holds a consistent, even color at larger sizes and remains legible as lines tighten. Numerals are simple and modern, with a clean, open “4” and rounded “0/8/9” that visually align with the circular letterforms.
