A clean sans with mostly geometric construction and smooth, round curves paired with straight-sided verticals. Strokes are even and consistent, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation. Counters are open and generously shaped, giving letters a clear, airy interior; round forms (O, C, G) read as near-circular while diagonals (V, W, Y) are sharp and well balanced. Lowercase forms are simple and contemporary, with a single-storey “a” and a compact “t” that has a short crossbar; the “g” is also single-storey with a clear ear and a closed lower bowl. Numerals are legible and modern, with a plain “1” and rounded “0/8/9” forms that match the letter rhythm.
Well suited to interface typography, product and corporate communications, and general-purpose editorial layouts where clarity and a neutral voice are needed. It can also work effectively in signage and wayfinding thanks to its open counters and straightforward forms.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, leaning practical rather than expressive. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the crisp finishing and disciplined proportions make it feel reliable and professional.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: simple, geometric, and easy to read in continuous text while remaining clean and confident at larger sizes.
Across the set, spacing appears steady and the shapes maintain a consistent rhythm, helping text blocks look orderly at both display and paragraph sizes. The design favors clarity in similar forms, with distinct silhouettes for common confusables like I, l, and 1 in context.
