A clean sans with broadly geometric construction and rounded bowls, combining straight vertical stems with smooth circular curves. Stroke thickness stays even throughout, producing a crisp, stable texture in text. Proportions feel balanced with wide, open counters and relatively generous apertures, helping letters like C, S, and e read clearly. Terminals are mostly straight and cut cleanly, and the overall rhythm is steady without noticeable calligraphic modulation.
Well-suited to interface copy, product UI, and dashboards where consistent stroke weight and open forms support legibility. It also works for editorial layouts, presentations, and general-purpose corporate communications, and can scale up to clean, modern headlines for branding and signage.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, leaning friendly due to the rounded forms and open shapes. It feels straightforward and functional, with a quietly modern character that stays out of the way in running text while still looking polished in headings.
Likely designed as a versatile everyday sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency across sizes. The restrained geometry and even color suggest an intention to provide a dependable, modern workhorse for both text and display use.
The uppercase set reads solid and orderly, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and simple, unadorned joins. Numerals appear straightforward and highly legible, matching the same geometric, even-stroke logic as the letters.
