A monoline sans with a geometric-leaning construction and generously rounded curves. Circular forms like C, O, and Q read as smooth and even, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a crisp, architectural rhythm. Terminals are clean and unflared, joins are simple, and counters are open, giving the design an uncluttered, highly legible texture. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and contemporary, with a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders on n/m, and a clean, symmetrical feel across the set. Numerals are simple and consistent, with clear, open shapes and minimal ornament.
Well suited to interface typography, product branding, and general-purpose editorial layouts where a clean, modern voice is needed. The open counters and simple forms support comfortable reading in short paragraphs and informational text, and the straightforward numerals work well for data-adjacent content like dashboards, captions, and labels.
The tone is restrained and contemporary, projecting clarity and approachability without calling attention to itself. Its rounded geometry adds a subtle friendliness, while the overall discipline and evenness keep it professional and calm.
Designed as a versatile, contemporary sans that emphasizes geometric cleanliness and unobtrusive readability. The consistent stroke and rounded construction suggest an aim to perform reliably across a wide range of everyday typographic contexts, from display headings to practical text.
The spacing and proportions create an airy, even color in text, with strong consistency between curved and straight components. Letterforms favor clarity over personality, making the face feel stable across mixed-case settings and alphanumeric UI-like strings.
