A clean sans with broadly rounded bowls and an even, low-contrast stroke. Proportions are expansive with wide letterforms and a tall lowercase that keeps the x-height prominent in text. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase a), while straight strokes remain crisp and uniform. The overall rhythm is steady and legible, with open apertures and generous internal counters that prevent dark spots at larger settings.
Its wide, open construction works well for interface typography, wayfinding, and display uses where clarity at a glance matters. The tall lowercase and smooth curves also support branding systems and editorial headlines that want a clean, contemporary voice without sharp aggression.
The font reads as modern and approachable, balancing a technical, geometric construction with soft roundness. Its wide stance and open shapes give it a calm, confident tone that feels contemporary rather than retro or calligraphic.
The design appears aimed at a broadly usable, contemporary sans that prioritizes clarity and friendliness through wide proportions, open counters, and simple geometric construction. It’s built to look consistent across letters and numbers while staying comfortable for continuous reading at larger sizes.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified geometric structure, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and highly readable. Numerals follow the same rounded, even-stroke logic, and the sample text shows consistent spacing and color across mixed-case passages.
