A clean sans with subtly rounded geometry and even, low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and circular in characters like O/C/G, while verticals and horizontals stay straight and stable, giving a clear, steady rhythm in text. Terminals are mostly blunt with a softened feel, and counters are generous and open, helping maintain clarity at display and paragraph sizes. The numerals follow the same simple, sturdy construction, with consistent proportions and calm spacing.
Well-suited for interface typography, product and marketing copy, and general-purpose editorial layouts where clarity and an even texture are important. Its strong, open letterforms also make it a practical choice for signage and wayfinding, as well as bold headlines and presentation decks that need clean impact.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, projecting a straightforward, no-nonsense clarity without feeling sterile. Its rounded forms and open counters add a friendly, inclusive character that suits everyday communication as well as polished brand work.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, contemporary sans that balances geometric cleanliness with approachable softness. It prioritizes legibility through open counters and straightforward construction while keeping a cohesive, modern voice across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms read crisp and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a utilitarian simplicity with single-storey shapes visible in letters like a and g. The family’s shapes feel slightly geometric in their circles and arcs, but retain enough human softness in joins and terminals to stay comfortable in continuous reading.
