A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a slightly condensed feel. Curves are built from near-circular bowls (notably in O/C/G/Q), while straights stay crisp with gently rounded joins and terminals. Proportions are controlled and consistent, with a comparatively low x-height and straightforward, unembellished lowercase. Counters read open and even, and the overall rhythm is calm and regular without calligraphic modulation.
Works well for interface typography, product labeling, and wayfinding where a tidy, modern sans is needed. It also suits short editorial settings and headings, especially in layouts that benefit from compact letterforms and clear geometric shapes.
The tone is contemporary and neutral, with a mildly technical, systematic character. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than harsh, making it feel practical and matter-of-fact while still approachable.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans built on geometric construction for clarity and consistency. It prioritizes even color, simple forms, and dependable readability across mixed-case text and numerals.
Distinctive details include a simple diagonal tail on Q, a single-storey a and g, and a compact, no-nonsense treatment of punctuation and numerals that matches the font’s geometric logic. The numerals follow the same low-contrast, rounded construction, keeping text and UI numerals visually consistent.
