A compact, geometric sans with even stroke weight and clean, open interior spaces. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and smooth arcs, contrasted with straight-sided verticals and simple diagonals. Terminals are predominantly flat and unembellished, creating a crisp, mechanical finish, while spacing and sidebearings produce a steady, orderly rhythm in both all-caps and mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same straightforward construction with consistent proportions and clear, uncluttered shapes.
This font works well where clarity and economy of space matter, such as UI components, navigational systems, labeling, and compact informational typography. Its steady texture and clean outlines also suit straightforward branding, packaging, and editorial callouts that need a modern, no-nonsense tone.
The overall tone is neutral and functional, leaning modern and technical rather than expressive. Its restrained detailing and consistent geometry give it an efficient, matter-of-fact voice suited to contemporary interfaces and information-driven layouts.
The design appears intended as a practical geometric sans that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and a compact footprint. By keeping stroke behavior and terminals simple, it aims to produce predictable, legible typography across both short labels and longer lines of text.
Round letters maintain a stable, uniform curvature, while angular forms (like K, V, W, X) keep sharp joins and clear diagonals. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey structures where applicable and maintains a direct, legible silhouette that stays consistent across text lines.
