A straightforward sans with rounded bowls, smooth curves, and predominantly uniform stroke thickness. Proportions favor a tall x-height and generous counters, with clean, unmodulated terminals that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while lowercase characters stay open and readable, with simple constructions and minimal detailing. Numerals follow the same plain, solid rhythm, matching the letterforms in weight and overall color.
Well-suited to interface copy, product text, and general-purpose editorial work where steady rhythm and quick letter recognition matter. It also scales cleanly into headings and wayfinding-style labeling thanks to its sturdy shapes and open counters.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, aiming for clarity rather than personality. Its rounded shapes soften the voice slightly, giving it an approachable, everyday feel while remaining businesslike and restrained.
Designed to be a dependable, modern workhorse sans that prioritizes legibility and consistent texture across a wide range of everyday applications. The rounded geometry and tall lowercase presence suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and clear scanning in mixed-case text.
The font maintains a consistent, even typographic color in the sample text, suggesting it is comfortable at text sizes as well as for straightforward display use. Letterforms show open apertures and simple joins, producing a stable rhythm across mixed-case settings.
