A crisp sans with largely monoline strokes and broad, open apertures. Curves are smooth and near-geometric, with rounded bowls and clear circular forms in letters like O, Q, and 0. Terminals are mostly straight-cut, giving a tidy, engineered finish, while proportions stay airy with ample internal space and comfortable sidebearings. Uppercase forms read straightforward and stable; lowercase maintains simple construction with single-storey shapes where shown and minimal detailing.
Well-suited to interface typography, product copy, and general-purpose text where clarity at small to medium sizes matters. The even color and open counters also make it a good candidate for wayfinding and informational signage, as well as slide decks and brand systems that want a neutral, contemporary sans.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable: clean enough for UI and product contexts, but not cold. Its open shapes and calm rhythm lend a practical, everyday voice that feels modern and unobtrusive, with a subtle friendliness from the rounded geometry.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: clear, spacious, and visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its restrained detailing and geometric underpinning suggest an emphasis on legibility and a calm typographic texture for broad everyday use.
Numerals appear simple and readable with consistent stroke weight; the 1 is a plain vertical form and the 0 is an oval without a slash. The Q uses a short diagonal tail, and the S is smoothly drawn without sharp inflections, reinforcing the rounded, even texture in text.
