A clean, monolinear sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, even curves. Strokes maintain consistent thickness with minimal contrast, and shapes feel centered and stable with mostly straight, squared-off terminals. Round letters like O/C/G are broadly circular with open counters, while diagonals in A/V/W/X are crisp and evenly weighted. Lowercase forms are straightforward and highly legible, with a single-storey a and g, compact joins, and minimal modulation, giving the overall texture a tidy, uniform rhythm in text.
It performs well for interface copy, documentation, and general-purpose body text where even color and quick recognition matter. The straightforward letterforms also make it a solid choice for signage, dashboards, and presentation typography, with enough firmness for headings without becoming overly stylized.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. It reads as practical and dependable, with a restrained, no-nonsense presence that suits informational and everyday typography.
The design intention appears to be a versatile, general-purpose sans that delivers predictable readability across sizes. Its geometric leaning and controlled details suggest a focus on modern neutrality and broad applicability rather than expressive display styling.
Numerals are clear and plainly drawn, matching the letterforms’ even stroke and open interior spaces. The overall spacing and proportions support a calm, consistent color in paragraphs, while the uppercase remains strong and direct for headings.
