A monoline sans with generous spacing and softly rounded geometry. Strokes stay even throughout, with smooth curves, open counters, and large bowls that give letters an airy silhouette. Terminals are clean and slightly softened rather than sharply cut, and the overall construction favors simple circles and straight stems with minimal modulation.
Well-suited to interface typography and product copy where a clean, spacious texture is beneficial, and it also works for editorial subheads, brand systems, and presentation typography that needs a modern but neutral voice. The open shapes and straightforward construction make it a solid option for signage and informational layouts at moderate sizes.
The tone is calm and contemporary, reading as approachable rather than assertive. Its light, open rhythm feels tidy and unobtrusive, lending a friendly neutrality that won’t dominate surrounding imagery or layout.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric-leaning sans that prioritizes clarity and an uncluttered texture. Its softened endings and open forms suggest a balance between technical cleanliness and everyday friendliness.
Round characters like C, G, O, Q, and e show consistent circular logic, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X keep a crisp, streamlined feel. Numerals follow the same simplified, open style, staying visually aligned with the lowercase and uppercase forms.
