A clean sans with a strongly geometric backbone and generously rounded bowls. Curves read as smooth, near-circular forms (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase rounds), paired with straight, confident verticals and diagonals. Stroke weight is even throughout, with simple, unadorned terminals and consistent spacing that produces a steady texture in paragraphs. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps clear counters and open apertures for legibility; numerals match the same straightforward, constructed logic.
Well-suited to interface text, product and corporate branding, wayfinding and environmental graphics, and editorial layouts where an even, modern sans texture is desired. It also performs cleanly for presentations and marketing materials that need straightforward, contemporary typography without stylistic noise.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a friendly clarity that stays neutral rather than expressive. Its geometry gives it a tech-forward, organized feel, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable and calm.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose geometric sans that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and a polished modern appearance across headings and continuous reading.
Letterforms favor simple construction and clear differentiation (e.g., distinct round vs. straight-sided shapes), helping maintain readability at display and text sizes. The figures and capitals appear designed to align visually with the lowercase rhythm, supporting cohesive mixed-case typography.
