A clean, monoline sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, rounded bowls. Strokes stay even and consistent, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals that feel cut cleanly rather than calligraphic. Counters are open and clear; round letters like C, O, and Q read as near-circular forms, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a tidy, orthogonal structure. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), a short, flat-topped t, and a compact, functional rhythm suited to continuous text.
This font suits interfaces, product UI, and general-purpose text where neutrality and legibility are important. It also works well for editorial subheads and captions, as well as wayfinding or informational signage that benefits from open counters and consistent stroke color.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary—practical rather than expressive. It feels matter-of-fact, organized, and slightly technical, prioritizing clarity and consistency over personality or retro flair.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose sans: simple geometric foundations, restrained detailing, and consistent stroke behavior aimed at clear reading across a range of sizes and contexts.
Proportions are balanced and steady, with round forms kept generous and legible at smaller sizes. Numerals appear straightforward and tabular-feeling in spirit, with rounded shapes (6, 8, 9) matching the letterform geometry and a plain, easily read 1 and 7.
