A light, monoline sans with gently rounded terminals and a clean, geometric skeleton. Curves are smooth and near-circular in letters like C, O, and Q, while straight strokes stay crisp without sharp corners. Counters are roomy and apertures are open, giving the lowercase a, e, and s an uncluttered, readable feel. Capitals are simple and evenly proportioned, and the numerals follow the same restrained, rounded logic for a consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, captions, and other contexts where a light, clean voice is needed. It can also work for editorial layouts and presentation typography, especially when a modern, friendly sans is desired without heavy stylistic quirks.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with a soft friendliness created by rounded joins and open shapes. Its light presence feels unobtrusive and neat, lending a subtle, design-forward character without looking cold or overly technical.
Likely designed as a versatile, minimal sans that prioritizes clarity and a soft, geometric look. The rounded terminals and open counters suggest an intention to keep text feeling approachable while maintaining a contemporary, orderly structure.
The design maintains a steady rhythm in running text, with clear differentiation between similar forms (for example I, l, and 1) and a straightforward, unembellished construction. Round glyphs read particularly smooth, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) keep a tidy, minimal profile.
