A monoline sans with gently rounded geometry and a light, even stroke throughout. Forms are built from clean circles and smooth curves paired with straight, economical stems; terminals are mostly flat and crisp, with subtle rounding in the joins. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and generous counters, keeping interiors open and preventing the light weight from clogging. Spacing feels slightly roomy and regular, supporting a quiet rhythm in text and keeping letterforms clearly separated.
Works well for interface typography, dashboards, and settings where a light, clean voice is needed. The tall lowercase and open counters also suit editorial layouts and presentation decks at medium sizes, and it can support contemporary branding where a quiet, refined sans is preferred.
The overall tone is modern and understated, with a calm, airy presence. Its restrained construction and smooth curves give it a friendly clarity without becoming playful, leaning more toward minimal and contemporary than expressive or retro.
Designed to provide a crisp, contemporary sans for general-purpose reading and UI environments, prioritizing openness, evenness, and smooth geometric consistency. The light stroke and ample internal space suggest an emphasis on clarity and a refined, unobtrusive typographic color.
Round letters (o, e, c) read very circular, while diagonals (v, w, y) stay clean and sharply defined, reinforcing a geometric logic. Numerals follow the same light, open construction and sit comfortably with the letters, contributing to a cohesive, system-like feel.
