A clean, monoline sans with rounded curves and gently softened terminals. Uppercase forms are broad and open, with circular bowls (C, O, Q) and straightforward, unmodulated strokes throughout. Lowercase shows simple, readable shapes with open apertures (notably in e and c) and a single-storey a; the t is compact with a short crossbar, and the g is a single-storey form with a rounded bowl and simple ear. Numerals are clear and geometric-leaning, with a notably angled 2 and a round, open 3, keeping a consistent rhythm alongside the letters.
Well-suited to interface and product text where clear shapes and steady spacing support fast scanning. It also works for editorial layouts and presentations that need a clean, modern voice, and can extend to signage and straightforward branding where neutrality and legibility are priorities.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, while the restrained detailing keeps it professional and unobtrusive.
The design appears intended as a versatile everyday sans: clean geometry, consistent stroke behavior, and open forms aimed at dependable readability across display and text sizes without drawing attention away from the content.
Spacing appears generous and even, helping maintain a steady texture in continuous text. Diagonals (V, W, Y, K) are crisp and simple, and curves meet stems without sharp notches, reinforcing the smooth, contemporary feel.
