A compact, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and smooth, continuous curves. The forms are narrow and tidy, with open counters and generous apertures that keep letters like C, S, e, and a clear at text sizes. Strokes stay even throughout, and the overall drawing favors simple geometry with slightly softened corners, producing a consistent, quiet rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
This font suits interface text, labels, menus, and other space-conscious layouts where clarity and a steady rhythm matter. It also works well for signage and wayfinding, as well as small editorial elements like captions and sidebars, where its open shapes help maintain legibility.
The tone is clean and contemporary with a mild friendliness from the rounded endings. It reads as practical and unobtrusive rather than expressive, making it feel calm, everyday, and easy to approach.
The design appears intended as a functional, compact sans for general-purpose reading, prioritizing even color on the page and straightforward letterforms. Rounded terminals and simplified lowercase shapes suggest an aim for friendly neutrality without sacrificing clarity.
Capitals are straightforward and fairly tall, while lowercase keeps a neat, compact presence; the single-storey a and g add to the simplified, modern feel. Numerals are equally restrained and legible, matching the same rounded, even-stroke logic seen in the letters.
