A clean, geometric sans with round, near-circular curves and straight-sided verticals that keep a steady, even rhythm. Strokes are uniform with low modulation, and terminals are crisp and mostly horizontal or vertical, giving the design a tidy, contemporary finish. Counters are generous and largely circular (notably in O, Q, and 0), while apertures remain open in letters like e, c, and s, supporting clarity at text sizes. The lowercase uses simple constructions with single-storey a and g, a compact, functional t, and tall ascenders that read clearly against a moderate x-height.
Well suited for interface typography, product branding, and editorial headlines where a clean geometric voice is desired. The open shapes and consistent stroke weight also make it a solid choice for signage and presentation materials that need quick, reliable readability.
The overall tone is modern and approachable: confident without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its geometric structure suggests a contemporary, digital-friendly sensibility, while the rounded forms keep the voice friendly and accessible.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, contemporary sans with geometric discipline and high everyday legibility. Its simplified lowercase forms and stable proportions prioritize clarity and a neutral, versatile tone for broad visual communication.
Capital forms lean toward classic geometric proportions (a wide, round O and a clean, symmetrical W), and the Q uses a straightforward tail treatment that stays unobtrusive. Numerals are clear and stable, with an open, easily distinguishable 4 and rounded 6/9 shapes that match the letterforms’ circular logic. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent in the sample text, helping maintain a smooth grayscale over longer lines.
