A clean geometric sans with round, near-circular bowls and smoothly drawn curves, paired with straight, even-weight strokes. Counters are open and generous, and joins stay crisp without sharp calligraphic modulation. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, simple, modern constructions, and rounded forms that keep a steady rhythm in text. Overall proportions feel broad and airy, with consistent spacing and unobtrusive punctuation and numerals that match the letterforms’ smooth geometry.
Well suited to interface and product typography where clean shapes and open counters support quick scanning. It can also serve brand systems, corporate communications, and signage that benefit from a modern, neutral voice and consistent rhythm across headings and running text.
The tone is contemporary and straightforward, with a friendly clarity that feels pragmatic rather than expressive. Its geometry and open shapes give it a slightly tech-leaning, system-like confidence while remaining approachable for general communication.
Designed to provide a versatile, modern workhorse sans that balances geometric simplicity with comfortable readability. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistency, and a broad, contemporary feel that adapts easily across digital and print contexts.
Capital forms keep a restrained, architectural presence with smooth curves on C/G/O and clean diagonals on A/V/W/Y. The numerals follow the same rounded, geometric logic, with clear differentiation and calm, even color in paragraph settings.
