A monoline sans with broad proportions and generous sidebearings, producing an open, breathable texture in text. Curves are built from smooth circular/elliptical forms, while straights stay crisp and even, keeping a consistent rhythm across letters and numbers. Terminals are generally squared with softened corners, and counters are large and clear; the overall construction favors simple geometry over calligraphic nuance.
Best suited to headlines, large labels, and short UI strings where the wide letterforms can breathe and contribute to a modern layout. It can also work for signage and brand wordmarks that want a clean, minimal presence, though its width will demand extra horizontal room in longer passages.
The tone is calm, contemporary, and restrained, leaning toward a clean, engineered feel rather than expressive personality. Its wide stance and uncluttered shapes give it an airy, straightforward voice suited to modern interfaces and minimal branding.
The design appears intended to provide a simple, contemporary sans with wide proportions and high clarity, emphasizing geometric smoothness and an even, consistent stroke for a clean typographic color.
Round characters like C, O, and G read especially spacious, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are drawn with clean joins that stay sharp without adding visual weight. Numerals follow the same open, geometric logic, with notably broad figures that align well with the wide letterforms.
