A wide, monoline sans with rounded geometry and smooth, circular bowls. Strokes maintain consistent thickness with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and straightforward, giving letters a crisp edge while preserving a soft, approachable feel. Proportions are broad with open counters and clear apertures, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps forms prominent and readable. Overall spacing feels generous and even, producing an airy rhythm in both the grid and paragraph samples.
It suits interface typography and product copy where clarity at a range of sizes matters, and it also works well for editorial layouts that benefit from a spacious, contemporary texture. The broad proportions and open counters support wayfinding and signage, while the restrained personality makes it a dependable choice for cohesive brand systems.
The tone is modern and neutral, balancing a functional, no-nonsense construction with subtly friendly rounded forms. It reads as contemporary and accessible rather than stylized or decorative, making it feel calm and matter-of-fact in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency while maintaining a contemporary, slightly rounded character. Its wide stance and open forms suggest an emphasis on legibility and a comfortable reading texture across headlines and longer text.
Round letters (like O/C/G) appear near-circular, while straight-sided forms (like H/N) stay rigid and stable, reinforcing a geometric foundation. Numerals follow the same wide, open construction, with clear interior spaces and uncomplicated silhouettes that match the alphabet’s steady rhythm.
