A compact, monolinear sans with rounded terminals and gently squared curves. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, with softened corners that keep the geometry from feeling harsh. Proportions are narrow and vertically oriented, with straightforward construction and simple joins that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall rhythm is tidy and regular, prioritizing clarity over stylistic flourish.
Works well for interface labels, settings menus, and compact layouts where space is limited but legibility is important. Its even stroke and tidy shapes also suit signage and wayfinding, as well as packaging and informational print where a clean, modern voice is desired. In longer passages it maintains a steady texture that fits manuals, forms, and captioning.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, with a mild technical feel from the clean geometry and compact proportions. Rounded endings add friendliness while the restrained forms keep it neutral and functional. It reads as calm, organized, and practical rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, legible sans for everyday communication. By combining compact widths with softened terminals and stable geometry, it aims to stay neutral and versatile while remaining comfortable to read in practical contexts.
Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular and fairly open for the width, helping letters stay distinct in text. The design avoids dramatic quirks, leaning on subtle rounding and consistent stroke behavior to create cohesion across the set.
