A clean sans with tall, compact letterforms and a consistent, even stroke. Curves are built from smooth circular arcs, giving round counters and soft corners throughout, while joins and terminals remain simple and unembellished. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable construction with open apertures and a single-storey “g,” plus a short, functional “t” crossbar and compact dots on “i/j.” Numerals follow the same restrained logic, with rounded forms and clear differentiation in shapes like 6/9 and 2/3.
It suits interface typography and product UI where clean shapes and consistent rhythm help at small to medium sizes. The compact width also works well for signage, labeling, tables, and infographics where horizontal space is limited. In editorial settings it can serve as a neutral sans for headings or short passages when a crisp, modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, balancing a slightly friendly softness from the rounded geometry with a quietly utilitarian, system-like clarity. It feels contemporary and approachable rather than stylized or expressive.
The design appears aimed at a neutral, contemporary sans optimized for clarity and economy of space. Its rounded geometric construction suggests an intent to stay visually smooth and consistent across letters and numerals while remaining unobtrusive in continuous text.
Spacing reads even and calm in the paragraph sample, and the narrow proportions create a tidy rhythm that suits tight settings without looking condensed for effect. The design avoids sharp corners and high contrast, favoring smooth continuity and straightforward forms.
