A clean, monolinear sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, round curves. Strokes maintain an even thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly straight-cut, giving the forms a crisp, contemporary finish. Counters are open and generous, with broad curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q, and straightforward, stable structures in E, F, H, and N. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a simple, readable t with a short crossbar, and a round, open e, producing an even, uncluttered texture in text.
Its open counters and even rhythm suit interface copy, dashboards, and product text where clarity is key. The clean geometry also fits contemporary branding systems and marketing materials, while the steady proportions make it comfortable for short editorial passages, headings, and signage.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a slightly friendly, accessible feel driven by the round forms and open spacing. It reads as practical and straightforward rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and calm consistency.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency across sizes. By leaning on geometric curves and simple joins, it aims to provide a modern, dependable voice that integrates easily into a wide range of visual systems.
Capitals and figures share the same steady, no-nonsense geometry, with clear distinctions between similar shapes (notably I, J, and 1). The numerals appear built from the same round/straight vocabulary as the letters, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed text and numbers.
