A clean sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, round bowls. Strokes are even and consistent, with rounded terminals and gently squared joins that keep the texture crisp. Uppercase forms are straightforward and balanced, while the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and a simple, readable “t” with a compact crossbar. Numerals are clear and proportional, with a soft, modern “2” and an open, rounded “3,” supporting a steady, uncluttered rhythm in text.
Well-suited for interface copy, product branding, and general-purpose typography where a clean, modern sans is needed. It also works effectively in editorial headlines and subheads, as well as clear, approachable signage and presentation materials.
The overall tone is contemporary and neutral, aiming for clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, while the restrained details keep it professional and broadly applicable.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse sans with geometric underpinnings and friendly rounding, optimized for straightforward readability across headings and continuous text.
Counters and apertures stay open in running text, helping maintain legibility at larger paragraph sizes and in UI-like settings. The design avoids sharp spikes and exaggerated quirks, producing a smooth, even color across lines.
