A sturdy, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and broadly rounded bowls. Curves resolve into clean, circular forms while verticals and horizontals stay crisp, producing an even, contemporary rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” generous counters, and simple terminals, helping maintain clarity at a range of sizes. Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, with clear differentiation between forms and consistent stroke weight.
This font fits interface typography, wayfinding, and general-purpose editorial use where clean shapes and strong legibility are needed. It also performs well in posters and headlines thanks to its solid weight and even texture, while remaining orderly enough for branding systems and corporate communications.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its geometric regularity reads as contemporary and systematic rather than expressive or calligraphic, making it feel dependable and direct.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse sans: geometric enough to feel current and structured, but restrained and readable for everyday text and display applications.
Letterforms lean toward circular construction (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls of b/p/q), balanced by firm vertical stems. The design favors simplicity: minimal modulation, uncomplicated joins, and open shapes that keep text color steady in paragraph settings.
