A clean monoline sans with straightforward, gently rounded geometry and consistent stroke endings. Curves are smooth and circular without sharp terminals, and counters stay open and legible across sizes. Uppercase forms read simple and geometric (round O/C, compact bowls in B/P/R), while the lowercase keeps a restrained, contemporary construction with a single-storey g, a simple hooked f, and a narrow, stem-led t. Figures are lining with clear, unadorned shapes; the 1 is plain, the 4 is open, and rounded forms (0/6/8/9) keep even color and steady proportions.
Works well for UI labels, controls, and general product typography where clarity and a steady texture are priorities. It also suits signage and wayfinding, as well as slides, documentation, and forms that benefit from straightforward letterforms and easily read numerals.
The overall tone is calm and matter-of-fact, projecting a modern, approachable clarity rather than a stylized or editorial personality. Its even rhythm and open forms give it a friendly, utilitarian voice suitable for everyday interface and product communication.
The design appears intended as a neutral, modern sans for broad everyday use, emphasizing legibility through open apertures, consistent strokes, and uncomplicated constructions that stay clear in both headlines and running text.
Spacing appears generous and regular, contributing to a stable texture in continuous text. The design favors simple joins and minimal shaping, keeping characters distinct through proportion and open counters rather than contrast or decorative details.
