A clean geometric sans with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves paired with straight, open joins. Strokes remain even throughout, with a notably horizontal, expanded feel and generous internal counters. Letterforms favor simple construction: circular O/Q, a single-storey a and g, and a streamlined, open-tailed y. Numerals follow the same restrained geometry, with rounded curves and minimal detailing for a consistent rhythm in text.
Well-suited to headlines, identity work, and interface typography where a spacious, contemporary look is desired. The wide proportions and clean forms also make it effective for posters, signage, and short blocks of editorial text where openness and clarity are priorities.
The overall tone is modern and forward-looking, with a calm, engineered clarity. Its wide stance and rounded geometry give it a sleek, contemporary presence that can feel slightly futuristic while staying neutral and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward geometric voice with a broad, expansive footprint, balancing friendly roundness with a precise, technical construction. It emphasizes clarity and consistency over ornament, aiming for a contemporary, adaptable presence across display and practical applications.
Curves read as carefully drawn ellipses rather than organic modulation, and terminals tend to be clean and unadorned, keeping forms crisp at display sizes. The width and open shapes create an airy texture in paragraphs, with distinctive silhouettes in letters like G, Q, and y.
