A clean, monoline sans with softly rounded curves and steady stroke thickness. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and generous interior counters, giving letters a clear, open texture in running text. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric-leaning without feeling rigid, while lowercase shapes stay simple and readable, with round bowls and calm terminals. Numerals follow the same even construction, maintaining consistent weight and rhythm alongside letters.
Well-suited to interface copy, product UI, and general-purpose typography where clarity at a range of sizes matters. It also fits editorial layouts and corporate materials that need a modern, unobtrusive sans, and it can scale to signage or headings while keeping a clean, even texture.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, projecting clarity and practicality rather than personality-driven flair. Its smooth curves and open forms add a mild friendliness, making it feel approachable while still suitable for professional communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile, workhorse sans: minimal stylistic distractions, consistent geometry, and reliable readability for everyday communication across print and screen.
Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting a stable color on the page. The design avoids sharp idiosyncrasies, prioritizing consistent silhouettes and dependable legibility across mixed-case text and numerals.
