A clean sans with round, geometric underpinnings and straightforward construction. Strokes are monolinear with smooth curves and largely straight, unembellished terminals. Counters are generous and open (notably in C, e, a, and s), giving the design a clear, breathable texture in text. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with a slightly squared-off feel in some curves (e.g., G and S) that adds crispness without becoming rigid. Numerals are simple and legible, with open shapes and stable, even color across a line.
Its open counters and uncomplicated letterforms make it suitable for interface text, dashboards, and general-purpose typography where clarity is prioritized. It also fits well in product copy, wayfinding, and presentations where a neutral, modern sans is needed for both headings and paragraphs.
The overall tone is neutral and practical, with a calm, modern presence. Rounded forms and open spacing make it feel friendly and accessible, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and utilitarian rather than expressive.
The design appears intended as an everyday workhorse sans: clear, contemporary, and broadly readable. Its geometric rounding and restrained terminals aim to deliver a friendly but professional tone that stays out of the way in extended text.
The capital set reads cleanly with broad, circular O/Q forms and a clear, no-nonsense G. Lowercase keeps to familiar, highly readable shapes with a two-storey g and a single-storey a, supporting a contemporary UI/editorial voice. The type maintains consistent rhythm in running text, producing an even gray value suited to continuous reading.
