A clean, monoline sans with a predominantly geometric construction and softly rounded curves. Stroke widths remain even across straight and curved segments, with smooth joins and open apertures that keep counters clear at text sizes. Uppercase forms read as sturdy and straightforward, while lowercase shows simple, compact shapes with restrained terminals and minimal calligraphic influence. Numerals are clear and workmanlike, matching the letterforms’ even rhythm and consistent spacing.
Well-suited for interface copy, web and app typography, and general editorial text where consistent texture and clear counters help maintain readability. It also fits wayfinding and signage needs thanks to straightforward letterforms and easily distinguished numerals. For presentations and branding systems, it provides a neutral base that won’t overpower other visual elements.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, leaning toward a friendly clarity rather than a sharp or technical austerity. Its straightforward shapes and open forms give it an approachable, everyday feel suitable for broadly accessible communication.
Designed as a practical, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The geometry and restrained details suggest an aim for broad usability in both display settings and extended text without adopting an overly stylized voice.
Round letters like O/C/G and the bowl structures in B/P/R emphasize clean circular geometry, while diagonals in A/V/W/X keep a crisp, contemporary snap. The sample text shows stable color and steady line rhythm, suggesting reliable legibility in continuous reading.
