A straightforward sans with round, circular construction and smooth curves paired with simple, straight stems. Stroke endings are plain and unembellished, with consistently low modulation and a clear, even texture in text. Counters are roomy and shapes lean slightly geometric, especially in the rounded letters and numerals, while overall proportions stay calm and balanced for continuous reading.
It suits interface typography, documentation, and general-purpose body copy where a consistent, unobtrusive rhythm is important. The open shapes and clean construction also make it a solid option for labeling, wayfinding, and editorial layouts that need a modern, no-nonsense sans.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its rounded forms soften the voice just enough to feel approachable, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and matter-of-fact.
The design intent appears to be a versatile, general-use sans that stays readable across sizes and contexts, using rounded geometry and restrained details to remain neutral while still feeling approachable.
Capitals read steady and uncluttered, and the lowercase maintains a tidy rhythm with open, legible interior spaces. Numerals appear simple and familiar, matching the letterforms without drawing attention to themselves.
