A monolinear sans with crisp, even stroke weight and gently rounded curves. Letterforms lean toward geometric construction, with circular bowls and smooth arcs balanced by straight, clean terminals. Counters are open and spacious, and the overall rhythm is calm and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a light, uncluttered texture in text.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and navigation where a light, clean tone is desired, as well as editorial settings that benefit from an airy page color. It can also work for contemporary branding and minimalist posters, especially at larger sizes where its geometric refinement is most apparent.
The font conveys a restrained, contemporary tone: quiet, clear, and unobtrusive. Its light presence feels refined and architectural, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded forms rather than any overt stylization.
The design appears intended as a neutral, modern sans that prioritizes clarity and a gentle geometric polish. Its simplified forms and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on versatile, everyday readability with a refined, lightweight presence.
Capitals read with a relatively tall, slender feel, while the lowercase maintains straightforward, highly legible shapes; the single-storey forms (notably the “a” and “g”) reinforce a simplified, modern voice. Numerals follow the same smooth, geometric logic, with rounded figures that align visually with the letterforms.
