A monoline sans with broadly rounded bowls and generous internal counters, drawn with smooth, even strokes and minimal modulation. Proportions are noticeably expansive, with wide set letters and a calm horizontal rhythm that emphasizes clarity over compactness. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while curves (C, O, S, 0) read as near-elliptical with consistent radii. The lowercase follows a simple, contemporary construction with a single-storey a and g, a tall, clean i with a round dot, and an unobtrusive, readable numeral set.
Best suited to settings where spacious, clean letterforms are an advantage—such as UI labels, product interfaces, signage, and contemporary branding. It also performs well in short-to-medium headline text where the wide proportions can provide a distinctive, modern voice without relying on decorative features.
The overall tone is cool, contemporary, and unobtrusive, with a distinctly engineered neatness. Its wide stance and open forms feel airy and calm, leaning toward a modern UI or tech aesthetic rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, geometric-leaning sans that prioritizes legibility through open counters, simple construction, and a steady, monoline texture. Its wide proportions suggest an aim for a modern, airy presence in display and interface contexts.
Letterforms maintain strong consistency between rounds and straights, with careful spacing that keeps wide shapes from feeling loose. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and linear, and the uppercase reads particularly uniform due to restrained detailing and balanced curvature.
