A clean, geometric sans with near-uniform stroke weight and round, smoothly drawn curves. Bowls and counters are open and circular, with a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Terminals read as softly rounded rather than sharply cut, giving the forms a calm, even texture in words. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, with straightforward joins and minimal contrast for a steady, contemporary appearance.
This font works well for UI copy, product and brand systems, and general-purpose editorial use where a clear, contemporary sans is needed. Its open counters and even texture also suit dashboards, labeling, and signage, and it remains readable in longer paragraphs as shown in the sample text.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, leaning friendly due to its rounded geometry and open forms. It feels practical and orderly without becoming sterile, making it suitable for interfaces and everyday communication where clarity is the priority.
The design appears intended as a versatile, no-nonsense geometric sans that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and a smooth reading rhythm. Its restrained detailing suggests it was built to be dependable across many layouts rather than to make a strong stylistic statement.
Capitals are simple and balanced, with broad, symmetrical shapes in O/Q and clean diagonals in A/V/W/Y. The numerals follow the same geometric logic, with rounded 0/8/9 and a simple, vertical 1, helping maintain a consistent voice between text and data.
