A clean sans serif with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Uppercase forms lean geometric with broad bowls and straightforward construction, while the lowercase introduces softer, more humanized shapes such as a single-storey “a” and a single-storey “g” with an open tail. Curves are smooth and circular, counters are generous, and spacing feels even, producing a steady texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same simple, open construction, with clear, unembellished shapes and consistent stroke weight.
It suits interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose branding where a clean, readable sans is needed. The even rhythm and open forms also work well for short editorial passages, reports, and presentation typography, and can extend to signage where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is neutral and modern, aiming for clarity rather than personality. Rounded details keep it approachable, while the restrained, systematic forms maintain a professional and matter-of-fact feel.
The design appears intended as a versatile workhorse sans: straightforward geometry, consistent stroke behavior, and friendly rounding to maintain comfort in longer reading while remaining crisp for titles and labels.
The typeface balances geometric capitals with a more relaxed lowercase, which helps readability in continuous text while keeping a crisp, contemporary look for headings. Open counters and uncomplicated joins support legibility at a range of sizes.
