A monoline sans with generous horizontal proportions and an airy, open rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin, with subtly rounded corners and frequent angled or sheared terminals that give the outlines a slightly engineered feel. Curves are broad and clean (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S), while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L) keep a crisp, constructed skeleton. Counters are large and apertures are open, and the lowercase shows tall proportions with simplified, single-storey shapes (a, g) and compact, straight stems for b/d/p/q.
Best suited to headlines, brand wordmarks, product naming, and editorial display where its wide stance and open counters can breathe. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and signage when set with adequate size and contrast, leveraging its clear shapes and consistent stroke weight.
The overall tone reads contemporary and streamlined, with a mild eccentricity coming from the angled terminals and occasional asymmetries. It feels precise and technical rather than warm, but the rounded joins keep it from becoming harsh. The result is a modern, slightly futuristic voice that stays calm and legible.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display-leaning sans that emphasizes openness and clarity while adding personality through angled cuts and constructed terminals. Its geometry and restrained detailing suggest an aim for a modern, tech-adjacent aesthetic without becoming overly decorative.
Distinctive details include a Q with a long, diagonal tail, a J with a squared top and a curved hook, and numerals that mix geometric bowls with slanted cuts (notably 2, 5, and 9). The design’s wide set and open spacing make it look clean at display sizes, while the thin strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast backgrounds.
