A clean monoline sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, giving the lowercase strong clarity at text sizes. Terminals are predominantly straight-cut with subtle rounding in joins, producing an even texture and consistent rhythm across lines. The capitals read simple and architectural, while the lowercase includes a double-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” balancing contemporary geometry with familiar reading shapes. Numerals are straightforward and lining in feel, with open forms and minimal ornament.
Well-suited for interface typography, product copy, and documentation where a calm, modern sans is needed. The open counters and even stroke treatment also make it a solid choice for general editorial layouts and clear informational signage, especially in mixed-case text.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded bowls and smooth joins. It feels practical and unobtrusive, leaning toward a modern, interface-ready voice rather than expressive display character.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, dependable sans voice with high everyday legibility and minimal stylistic distraction. Its rounded geometric backbone suggests an intention to feel contemporary and approachable while staying versatile across digital and print contexts.
The design favors clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, the angled strokes in K, V, W, X and the open shapes in C, S), helping maintain legibility in mixed-case settings. Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample, supporting readable paragraphs and UI copy.
