A clean sans with largely geometric construction and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes appear uniform and steady, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with generous counters and straightforward joins; the lowercase maintains a clear, contemporary rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g” and open apertures. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the alphabet’s even color and consistent spacing.
Well-suited to interface and product text where clarity and consistency are essential, as well as wayfinding and signage thanks to its open shapes and straightforward letterforms. It can also serve modern branding and editorial layouts that need a clean, approachable sans with dependable readability.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, leaning friendly through its rounded forms and open counters. It reads as calm and practical rather than expressive, projecting clarity and accessibility in both short labels and longer lines of text.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans: contemporary, highly legible, and visually even. Its geometric foundations and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity across a wide range of sizes and everyday communication contexts.
Round letters like O/C/G show smooth, circular bowls, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) feel clean and sharply resolved without decorative flaring. The design keeps a consistent visual density across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting an even typographic color in paragraph settings.
