A clean, geometric sans with rounded curves and a steady, even stroke throughout. Letterforms are built from clear circular and elliptical geometry, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, producing a crisp silhouette at both display and text sizes. Counters are open and generous, terminals are simple and unembellished, and spacing feels balanced for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction, with clear differentiation and consistent proportions.
Well-suited for UI and product typography, documentation, and general-purpose body text where clarity and neutrality matter. Its geometric structure and open counters also make it effective for headings, presentation decks, signage, and other contexts that need clean legibility at varied sizes.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a gentle friendliness coming from the rounded bowls and open apertures. It reads as straightforward and utilitarian rather than expressive, making it feel dependable and contemporary without drawing attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a versatile, do-it-all sans that emphasizes clarity, consistency, and contemporary geometric simplicity. It prioritizes an even reading texture and broadly familiar shapes, aiming to work quietly across both interface and editorial settings.
The sample text shows an even typographic color and stable rhythm across long lines, suggesting careful control of proportions and spacing. Round letters (like O/C/G) appear especially consistent, reinforcing the geometric backbone, while diagonals and straight-sided forms stay crisp and uncluttered.
