A compact, plain sans with monolinear strokes and clean terminals. Forms lean toward simple geometric construction—round counters in C/O and a straightforward, open-bowl lowercase—while retaining pragmatic humanist touches in the irregularities of letter widths and joins. Curves are smooth and even, corners are minimally softened, and spacing reads tidy and controlled. Lowercase shapes are clear and workmanlike (single-storey a and g), with tall, straight ascenders and simple punctuation-like dots.
Works well for interface copy, navigation, and dense informational layouts where space efficiency matters. Its clean, even strokes and compact rhythm also suit wayfinding, labeling, and tabular or dashboard-style text that benefits from restrained, legible letterforms.
The overall tone is neutral and functional, prioritizing clarity over personality. It feels contemporary and businesslike, with a mild technical flavor that suits straightforward communication rather than expressive display.
Designed to be a straightforward, no-frills sans for everyday typography, balancing geometric simplicity with practical readability. The compact proportions suggest an emphasis on fitting more text into limited space while keeping a consistent, uncluttered texture.
Uppercase proportions are relatively tall and compact, creating a condensed rhythm in all-caps settings. Numerals are simple and readable with consistent stroke logic, and round forms (0, 8, 9) stay smooth and stable, supporting consistent texture in longer lines.
