This is a clean sans with gently rounded curves and soft, mostly horizontal/vertical terminals. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, giving an even texture and a light color on the page. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous counters and clear interior space in letters like O, e, and a. The lowercase shows a double-storey a and a single-storey g, with straightforward, legible forms and a calm, regular rhythm across text.
It works well for UI copy, product text, and editorial layouts where a light, open texture improves readability. The expanded feel and clear numerals also make it suitable for wayfinding, dashboards, and presentation graphics that need a crisp, modern sans.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, leaning friendly rather than technical due to the rounded shapes and open apertures. It reads calmly in paragraphs and feels unobtrusive, suited to interfaces and informational design where clarity is the priority.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and neutrality while keeping a soft, approachable character through rounded forms and open spacing.
Figures are simple and highly readable, with smooth curves in 2, 3, and 9 and a balanced 8. The uppercase is restrained and geometric-leaning without becoming rigid, while the lowercase introduces a mild humanist softness that keeps long text from feeling sterile.
