A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Proportions are balanced and fairly compact, with generous counters and open apertures that keep shapes from clogging at text sizes. Terminals are straight and crisp, while curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S) feel circular and controlled rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a simple, short-armed r, and a compact e with a clean horizontal bar, creating a consistent, contemporary rhythm across text and numerals.
Well suited for interface typography, dashboards, and product copy where predictable spacing and high legibility matter. It also fits print and digital body text, wayfinding and simple signage, and office-style materials like forms, reports, and presentation decks.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, projecting clarity and efficiency without feeling cold. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, making it suitable for straightforward communication where a calm, dependable voice is desired.
The design appears intended to provide a straightforward, highly readable sans with geometric discipline and minimal stylistic distractions. It prioritizes clarity, consistent texture, and broad usability across everyday communication and functional design.
Capitals read evenly with stable verticals and uncomplicated joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and well disciplined. Numerals are simple and legible, with clear distinctions between closed forms (0, 6, 8, 9) and open ones (2, 3, 5, 7). Spacing appears even and text color is consistent, supporting continuous reading.
