A clean sans with geometric underpinnings and smoothly drawn curves. Strokes are even and steady, with rounded bowls and circular counters in letters like O, C, and G, balanced by straight-sided construction in forms like H, N, and E. Terminals are largely plain and squared, giving the design a crisp, contemporary finish, while apertures stay open and readable in glyphs such as a, e, and s. Overall spacing and proportions feel balanced and consistent, supporting clear word shapes in running text.
Well-suited to interfaces, product typography, and general-purpose branding where clarity and neutrality are priorities. It also works effectively for signage and editorial layouts that need a crisp, contemporary sans with dependable readability across sizes.
The overall tone is modern and understated, with a straightforward, everyday clarity. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness without becoming playful, keeping the voice practical and professional.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: geometric enough to feel current and system-like, but softened with round forms and open counters for comfortable reading in continuous text.
The numeral set follows the same geometric logic, with simple, legible forms and rounded curves; figures like 0 and 8 are notably open and even. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, reinforcing the contemporary, approachable character.
