A clean sans with monolinear strokes, largely geometric construction, and crisp terminals. Curves are smooth and close to circular in letters like C, O, and Q, while straighter forms (E, F, H, I) keep a firm, rectilinear rhythm. Counters are open and clear, with uncomplicated joins and minimal flare; bowls and shoulders (b, d, p, r) stay compact and controlled. The uppercase reads sturdy and even, and the lowercase maintains a simple, workmanlike texture with a single-storey a and g and a square-ish dot on i/j.
It works well for interfaces, dashboards, and general product typography where clean shapes and consistent rhythm are important. The sturdy capitals and clear numerals suit signage, labels, and information design, while the restrained character makes it a dependable choice for editorial layouts and presentations.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for clarity over personality. It feels practical and matter-of-fact, with a quiet modernity that supports content without calling attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose sans focused on neutrality, consistent spacing, and dependable legibility across headings and text. Its simplified, geometric letterforms suggest an aim to be modern and versatile without stylistic ornament.
Numerals are straightforward and highly legible, with simple, open forms and consistent stroke weight that aligns well with the letters. Round characters (0, 8, 9) balance well against angular ones (4, 7), producing an even typographic color in mixed text.
