A clean, monolinear sans with broadly geometric construction and smooth, circular curves. Strokes are even and unmodulated, with open apertures and spacious counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. Proportions feel comfortably wide with generous internal space; terminals are predominantly straight-cut, and joins stay tidy without visible calligraphic influence. The uppercase set reads crisp and architectural, while the lowercase maintains straightforward, functional shapes with simple bowls and stems.
Works well for interface and product copy, web and app typography, and general-purpose editorial layouts where clarity and consistency matter. The open counters and even rhythm also suit wayfinding and signage, as well as corporate communications and presentation templates that need a straightforward, contemporary sans.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, leaning toward a practical, contemporary voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its wide, open shapes give it a calm, approachable feel that still reads as precise and systematic.
Designed to provide a versatile, no-nonsense sans for everyday typography, emphasizing clarity, geometric coherence, and a stable reading rhythm across both display lines and paragraph text.
The figures are simple and legible, matching the letterforms’ geometric logic; round forms (like 0, 8, 9) are smoothly drawn, and straight-sided digits (like 1, 4, 7) stay clean and uncluttered. In the sample text, spacing appears even and consistent, supporting continuous reading with a steady rhythm.
