A clean sans with largely monoline construction and gently rounded, geometric curves. Counters are open and fairly circular, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a consistent, even color. Terminals are mostly straight-cut and crisp, while round glyphs stay soft and well-balanced; diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are sharp and steady. The lowercase shows simple, functional forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals are straightforward and legible with broad shapes and clear differentiation.
Works well for UI labels, product and corporate branding, and wayfinding where clean shapes and steady spacing help quick recognition. It also suits headlines and short editorial passages, especially when a contemporary, unobtrusive sans is needed.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a friendly clarity that feels practical rather than expressive. Its geometric calm and consistent rhythm make it feel contemporary and dependable, suitable for interfaces and general communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency. Its geometric underpinnings and restrained detailing suggest a focus on broad usability across digital and print contexts.
Round letters like O/Q maintain generous internal space, and the Q uses a small, unobtrusive tail. The ampersand is plain and workmanlike, matching the font’s no-nonsense approach. Spacing in the sample text reads even and stable, supporting long passages without visual fuss.
