A compact sans with clean, open counters and rounded, geometric curves paired with straight-sided strokes. Terminals are mostly flat and unadorned, and the stroke modulation is minimal, producing an even, consistent color in text. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q read as near-circular with smooth joins, while diagonals (V, W, Y, k) are sharp and tidy. Figures are straightforward and readable, with simple constructions and generous interior space for their width.
This font is well suited to interface typography, dashboards, tables, and other information-dense layouts where space efficiency and steady texture matter. It also performs well for captions, small headlines, and straightforward signage that benefits from clean geometry and uncomplicated forms.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, emphasizing clarity over personality. Its compact rhythm and restrained detailing give it a practical, system-like feel that suits utilitarian communication and modern interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, contemporary sans with a compact footprint and dependable legibility. Its geometric rounding and low-detail construction suggest a focus on versatile everyday typography for functional, modern applications.
In running text the lowercase appears compact with relatively small ascenders and a modest x-height, which keeps paragraphs controlled and orderly. The shapes stay consistent across cases, giving mixed-case settings a cohesive, no-nonsense texture.
