A monolinear sans with geometric construction and generous rounding on curves. Circular forms (O, C, G, Q) read smooth and even, with open counters and a restrained, consistent stroke throughout. Proportions are balanced and relatively spacious, with clear, straightforward terminals and minimal modulation; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp while retaining the same even stroke. Lowercase forms follow a simple, contemporary model, including a single-storey g and clean, uncluttered joins, giving text a calm, even rhythm.
Well-suited to UI and product text where clarity and a steady rhythm matter, as well as signage and informational layouts that benefit from open shapes. It also works for contemporary branding systems and presentations that want a clean, unobtrusive voice that scales smoothly from headlines to body copy.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a quietly technical clarity. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe, making it feel contemporary and dependable in both interface-like settings and general editorial use.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans built around simple geometric primitives and consistent stroke logic. It prioritizes legibility, visual neutrality, and a tidy, contemporary texture in continuous text.
Figures appear simple and legible with consistent stroke behavior, and the punctuation in the sample text sits unobtrusively with the letterforms. Spacing appears moderately open, helping maintain clarity at paragraph sizes without looking condensed or overly wide.
