A clean sans with largely monolinear strokes and rounded, geometric curves. Capitals are broad and stable with even proportions and simple construction, while lowercase forms keep a clear, workmanlike rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a compact, vertical stance. Curves are smooth and consistent across bowls and shoulders, terminals are mostly straight or softly rounded, and counters stay open for clarity. Numerals are plain and sturdy with uniform stroke weight and simple, legible silhouettes.
This font works well for UI labels, product and packaging copy, and general-purpose editorial settings where a neutral sans is needed. It also suits signage and presentations thanks to its clear shapes and even stroke weight, remaining readable in both short headlines and continuous text.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its restrained shapes and steady spacing give it an unobtrusive, dependable voice suitable for everyday interface and brand communication.
The design intention appears to be a versatile, modern sans built for broad usability. It favors simple geometric construction, stable proportions, and clear counters to perform reliably across a wide range of sizes and contexts.
Round letters (like O/C/G) read clean and well balanced, and joins in letters like n/m/u are kept straightforward without calligraphic modulation. The forms feel engineered and consistent, lending a crisp texture in text and a solid presence in larger sizes.
