A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broadly circular bowls. Uppercase forms are straightforward and evenly proportioned, with smooth curves on C/G/O and simple diagonals on A/V/W/Y. Lowercase is compact and highly legible, showing open apertures and plain, unembellished terminals; counters stay generous and consistent across a/b/d/p/q. Numerals are simple and contemporary, with a clear 1 and rounded 0/8/9 shapes that match the letterforms.
It performs well in general-purpose settings where a clear, modern sans is needed: UI labels and menus, product and corporate branding, editorial headlines and subheads, signage, and slide decks. The even stroke and open shapes support comfortable reading in short paragraphs as well as display sizes.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its smooth geometry and restrained detailing feel practical and approachable, giving it an unobtrusive “everyday” voice suited to interface and informational typography.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric sans that stays visually quiet while remaining highly readable. Its consistent construction and minimal detailing suggest a focus on broad usability across digital and print layouts.
Round characters maintain consistent curvature and rhythm, while straight-stem letters keep a crisp, engineered feel. The sample text shows steady spacing and a calm texture in paragraph settings, with punctuation and dots reading cleanly at size.
