A compact sans with monoline strokes and consistently rounded corners that soften the geometry. Curves are built from simple, even arcs, with open bowls and clear counters; the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and a single-storey “g” with a relaxed, looping descender. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off but subtly rounded, and the overall rhythm feels steady and utilitarian with a slightly condensed footprint.
Its compact proportions and clear, open shapes make it suitable for interface text, navigation, and informational labeling where space is limited. It also works well for captions and short-to-medium passages in editorial or product contexts that benefit from a clean, modern sans without sharp edges.
The tone is straightforward and contemporary, with a mild friendliness from the rounded joins and simple forms. It reads as neutral and practical rather than expressive, lending a calm, matter-of-fact voice that won’t compete with content.
The design appears intended as an everyday, no-nonsense sans that stays legible and consistent while maintaining a slightly softened, approachable finish. It prioritizes straightforward construction and even color for dependable use across common typographic settings.
Figures are simple and workmanlike with smooth curves and minimal detailing, matching the letterforms’ restrained construction. The punctuation and spacing shown in the text sample support a tidy, controlled texture in running lines.
