A clean, monoline sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, round bowls. Strokes maintain an even weight with crisp, mostly square terminals, producing a steady texture in both display and text settings. Counters are open and shapes are uncluttered, with circular/elliptical forms in O/C/G and straightforward joins elsewhere. Overall proportions lean broad and stable, giving headlines a solid footprint while keeping letterforms clear in longer lines.
Well suited for interface copy, dashboards, and product typography where clarity and predictable letterforms matter. Its broad, geometric presence also works for signage, titles, and brand systems that want a modern, neutral voice without decorative cues. In editorial or presentation settings, it can provide a clean, contemporary baseline for headings and short-to-medium text blocks.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, aiming for clarity over personality. Its geometry and restrained details read as functional and modern, with a slightly technical, system-like calmness rather than expressive or decorative energy.
Designed to be a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes clarity, geometric coherence, and an even reading rhythm. The minimal detailing and consistent stroke behavior suggest an all-purpose workhorse intended to perform reliably across both display lines and everyday text.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and simplified, while lowercase maintains familiar, highly legible silhouettes. Numerals follow the same clean logic, with smooth curves and minimal modulation, contributing to a consistent, no-nonsense typographic color.
