A clean grotesque-style sans with monoline strokes, rounded terminals, and broadly circular bowls. Proportions are sturdy and compact in the caps, while the lowercase shows a notably high x-height and generous counters that keep forms open. Curves are smooth and continuous (notably in C, G, O, and S), and joins are straightforward with minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is even and contemporary, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I vs. l, O vs. 0) and stable, un-fussy numerals.
Performs best where strong presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, UI labels, wayfinding, and short-to-medium blocks of text. Its open forms and high x-height help maintain clarity at smaller sizes, while the solid weight supports bold, high-contrast layouts.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact with a mild friendliness from the rounded geometry. It feels confident and approachable rather than sharp or technical, making it well suited to clear messaging and straightforward branding.
Likely designed as a dependable, modern workhorse sans: straightforward geometry, high legibility, and a calm, contemporary texture that holds up across display and interface contexts.
The design leans on simple geometric construction—round bowls, consistent stroke endings, and uncluttered letterforms—resulting in a strong, uniform texture in paragraphs. Lowercase details like the two-storey a and the compact, neat t reinforce a contemporary, editorial sans character.
