A clean sans with gently humanist construction and a noticeably airy rhythm. Strokes stay consistent and slender, with softly rounded joins and terminals that read as subtly tapered rather than blunt. Bowls and counters are open and spacious, and many forms lean on simple circular/elliptical geometry without feeling rigid. Ascenders are relatively tall, the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the overall spacing feels comfortable for running text.
It works well for UI copy, product text, and general-purpose editorial typography where calm readability is prioritized. The open counters and restrained detailing also make it a good fit for modern branding systems and signage that benefit from a friendly, uncomplicated sans.
The tone is contemporary and understated, balancing neutrality with a mild warmth. It feels clear and unforced, suitable for interfaces and editorial settings that need a friendly, non-mechanical voice.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: clear at text sizes, visually quiet, and slightly humanized through soft curves and open apertures rather than overt stylistic gestures.
The capital set reads smooth and even, with rounded C/G/O and a straightforward, geometric S. Figures appear simple and readable, with an open 4 and clean, rounded 8/9 shapes, reinforcing the font’s clarity in mixed text and numerals.
