A delicate, geometric sans with consistent stroke thickness and generous internal space. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry, while straight strokes stay crisp and unmodulated, creating a calm, even rhythm. Proportions feel slightly tall, with long ascenders/descenders and open counters that keep the texture light on the page. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and simplified, rounded forms, and the figures are similarly clean with restrained, modern shapes.
It works well for interface labels, navigation, and short-to-medium text where a light, unobtrusive voice is desired. In editorial and brand systems, it suits contemporary headlines, subheads, and supporting copy, especially in layouts that benefit from openness and a restrained typographic tone.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary—precise without feeling technical, and minimal without becoming sterile. Its light footprint and open forms give it an airy, refined presence suited to modern, design-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric reading experience with minimal distraction—prioritizing clarity, smooth curvature, and a refined, lightweight typographic color for contemporary applications.
Terminals are clean and unobtrusive, and joins remain straightforward, emphasizing clarity over personality. The rounded construction keeps the alphabet cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a consistent, understated color in text.
