A monoline sans with a slender build and generous interior space, combining simple geometric curves with straight, restrained terminals. Uppercase forms are tall and open, with rounded bowls that stay close to circular and smooth joins that keep texture even. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary skeleton with a single-storey “g,” compact shoulders, and clean, lightly curved terminals; counters remain open and legible. Figures are similarly streamlined, with simple construction and consistent stroke behavior that produces an even, quiet rhythm in text.
Well suited to interface and product text where a light, unobtrusive voice is desired, as well as editorial settings, reports, and presentations that benefit from a clean, modern texture. It can also support contemporary branding and packaging when paired with ample whitespace and restrained color palettes.
The overall tone is minimal and contemporary, leaning toward a neutral, technical clarity rather than expressive warmth. Its light presence feels airy and refined, giving layouts a calm, understated polish.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, modern sans for general-purpose typography, prioritizing an even rhythm, open counters, and a refined lightness that stays readable while feeling contemporary and minimal.
Spacing and letterfit appear measured and regular, helping the type stay composed in running text. Curves are smooth and controlled, while straight strokes and rounded forms balance to create a tidy, architectural feel without decorative detail.
