A compact sans with straightforward, largely geometric construction and clean, continuous curves. Strokes are consistently even and terminate with flat, squared-off ends, giving the forms a crisp, utilitarian finish. The overall fit is tight and space-efficient, with relatively narrow letterforms and modest internal counters that stay open enough for clarity. Round letters are slightly oval rather than perfectly circular, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are firm and direct, maintaining a steady rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to interface copy, dashboards, forms, and dense informational layouts where compact width helps conserve space. It also fits wayfinding and labeling systems that benefit from clear, even stroke color and uncluttered shapes.
The tone is neutral and functional, reading as contemporary and matter-of-fact rather than expressive. Its compact proportions and no-nonsense detailing evoke a practical, technical sensibility suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, space-efficient sans for general-purpose reading and structured content, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and an unobtrusive voice.
Uppercase characters feel disciplined and uniform, while the lowercase maintains familiar, conventional shapes with minimal stylistic quirks. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the letters in stroke color and overall restraint.
