A clean sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, round bowls. Strokes are even and consistent, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a tidy, engineered look. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open apertures and generous interior counters; round letters like O and Q are near-circular, while straight-sided forms like E and F stay compact and orderly. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey shapes (notably a and g), contributing to a streamlined texture in text, and the numerals follow the same straightforward, uncluttered logic.
Well suited to interface copy, product and SaaS branding, and general-purpose communication where clarity and consistency are priorities. It should also work for wayfinding and signage, and for editorial layouts that want a neutral sans voice without drawing attention away from content.
The overall tone is contemporary and restrained, leaning toward a calm, practical clarity rather than expressive personality. Its geometry and even rhythm give it a quietly confident, utilitarian feel that can read as both approachable and precise.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: geometric enough to feel current, but tempered with open counters and straightforward shapes to stay readable in continuous text. Its minimal detailing suggests a focus on broad usability across screens and print.
In the sample text, spacing and curves produce a smooth grayscale with little visual noise, and the rounded forms keep long lines from feeling harsh. The design’s simplicity emphasizes clarity over ornament, making punctuation and mixed-case passages look orderly.
