A clean, monoline sans with softly rounded curves and squared-off terminals. The uppercase set reads compact and steady, with wide, circular bowls (O, Q) and straightforward constructions that keep counters open and legible. The lowercase shows a humanist slant in its forms, with a single-storey a and g, a gently curved shoulder on r, and simple, uncluttered joins. Numerals are clear and workmanlike, with smooth curves and minimal detailing, supporting even color in text.
This font is well suited to interface copy, documents, and general-purpose typography where clarity at small and medium sizes matters. Its open counters and straightforward letterforms also make it a solid option for wayfinding, labels, and instructional materials that need quick, reliable readability.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for clarity over personality. Its restrained shapes and consistent rhythm feel practical and approachable, suitable for everyday UI and editorial settings without calling attention to themselves.
The design appears intended as a versatile, no-nonsense sans for broad use, balancing geometric cleanliness with enough humanist shaping to keep long passages comfortable to read.
Stroke endings stay crisp rather than flared, and curves are drawn with a slightly softened geometry that avoids harshness. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, producing an even texture and stable word shapes at paragraph sizes.
