A monoline outline sans with rounded corners and consistently even stroke drawing. Forms are built from straightforward geometric strokes—verticals and horizontals that stay crisp, with softened joins that keep the texture smooth. Counters are generously open, and curves (C, G, O, S) feel controlled and symmetric rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is simple and readable with single-storey a and g, while numerals are clear and balanced, giving the set a tidy, diagram-like rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and short bursts of text where the outline effect is a feature. It works well for signage-inspired branding, packaging callouts, and graphic layouts that can leverage stroke-only letterforms over color blocks, photography, or patterns.
The outlined construction gives the face a light, airy presence that reads as modern and slightly industrial. Its rounded geometry adds friendliness, nudging the tone toward retro signage and playful, modular design rather than strict corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended as a clean, versatile outline companion to a geometric sans, offering an airy display option for layered typography and high-impact graphic treatments while keeping letterforms familiar and legible.
Because the design relies on contour only, perceived weight varies strongly with background and fill treatment; it naturally benefits from larger point sizes and high-contrast settings. The internal spacing and open shapes help maintain recognition even with the reduced visual mass of an outline.
