A streamlined sans with long horizontal proportions and even, consistent stroke weight. Curves are built from clean ellipses with generous counters, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled. The capitals read narrow in stroke but expansive in width, and the overall spacing feels airy, emphasizing horizontal flow. Numerals and lowercase follow the same smooth geometry, with simple forms and clear, unembellished construction.
Best suited to display roles where width and openness are an asset, such as headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can also work in UI labels and navigation where a clean, spacious texture improves scanability, especially at medium and large sizes.
The tone is contemporary and restrained, projecting clarity and efficiency rather than personality-driven expression. Its wide stance and smooth curves give it a sleek, forward-looking feel that fits modern interface and product contexts. Overall it communicates a quiet, technical confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, highly legible sans with a distinctly expansive footprint, pairing geometric roundness with consistent strokes for a polished, system-like look.
Round letters such as O/C/G and the bowls in B/P/R lean toward near-circular geometry, while straight-sided letters (E/F/H/N) keep a rigid, engineered rhythm. The design’s broad proportions can make lines feel expansive, so it benefits from thoughtful tracking and line-length control in text settings.
