A clean sans with smooth, rounded bowls and largely monoline strokes. Curves are built from simple circular/elliptical forms, paired with straight stems that finish in crisp, unbracketed terminals. Proportions are even and uncluttered, with open apertures and generous interior counters that keep letters readable at text sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), a compact, tidy e, and a simple, straight-legged k, reinforcing a straightforward geometric construction.
Well-suited for interface copy, web typography, and editorial layouts where clean rhythm and legibility are priorities. It also works for straightforward branding systems and signage that benefit from open counters and a measured, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a calm, approachable clarity. Its rounded geometry reads friendly rather than technical, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and unobtrusive.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans: geometric enough to feel modern, but softened with rounded curves and open forms to remain readable and approachable across display and text settings.
Capital forms feel steady and balanced, with rounded letters (C, G, O, Q) staying smooth and consistent; the Q uses a small, unobtrusive tail. Numerals are simple and legible, with open shapes and minimal stylization, matching the font’s plainspoken rhythm in running text.
