A monoline sans with softly rounded curves and a crisp, even stroke. The letterforms favor open apertures and circular/elliptical bowls, with minimal modulation and a restrained, contemporary geometry. Uppercase proportions are tall and spacious, while lowercase forms stay compact with simple terminals and a clear, uncluttered construction. Numerals follow the same thin, consistent stroke and rounded logic, reading light and unobtrusive at text sizes.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and product UI where a light, unobtrusive texture is desired. It also fits editorial applications such as headings, subheads, and captions, plus presentation decks and minimalist brand systems that benefit from a clean, modern sans.
The overall tone is calm and understated, projecting a neutral, contemporary voice. Its light touch and open shapes feel refined and measured, suggesting a modern, quietly technical sensibility rather than expressive or decorative character.
Designed to deliver a neutral, contemporary sans voice with a light footprint and high clarity. The emphasis on simple geometry, open counters, and consistent stroke weight suggests an intention to provide a refined, modern workhorse for clean layouts and screen-forward typography.
Round letters like O and Q appear close to circular, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) keep sharp joins while maintaining the same thin stroke. The spacing in the sample text reads relaxed and breathable, supporting a clean rhythm and a smooth, uniform texture across lines.
