A compact sans with monoline strokes and smooth, rounded curves paired with straight-sided verticals. Proportions feel tight and efficient, with modest counters and generally open apertures that keep letters readable at smaller sizes. Terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, producing a straightforward texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same restrained, practical construction with clear differentiation between forms.
This font fits interface copy, settings menus, dashboards, and other space-conscious layouts where compact widths help. It also works well for signage, labels, and instructional material that benefits from an even, legible sans in short bursts or continuous reading.
The tone is neutral and workmanlike, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its compact stance and restrained shapes suggest a practical, modern sensibility suited to information-first typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose sans that emphasizes clarity, economy of space, and consistent rendering across a wide range of everyday text settings.
Round letters (like C, O, and G) are drawn with simple, smooth curvature, while diagonals in forms like A, V, W, and X stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase maintains a familiar, conventional skeleton that reads comfortably in continuous text.
