A very light, monolinear sans with rounded construction and gently modulated curves. Circular letters are drawn with smooth, even arcs and generous counters, while verticals stay straight and crisp, giving a tidy, contemporary rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal, joins are unobtrusive, and spacing feels open, helping the forms read clearly at text sizes. Numerals follow the same restrained, rounded logic with simple, unembellished shapes.
It suits interface typography, captions, and general-purpose reading where a light, unobtrusive presence is desirable. The open forms and restrained detailing also make it a good fit for editorial layouts, minimalist branding, and clean signage where a contemporary, calm voice is needed.
The overall tone is quiet and modern, with an airy, understated refinement. It feels friendly and approachable rather than technical, projecting clarity and ease without calling attention to itself.
The font appears designed to provide a neutral, highly readable sans with a light touch—prioritizing open shapes, consistent curves, and an even typographic texture for comfortable reading and versatile everyday use.
The design leans on open apertures and large internal spaces, producing a bright texture in paragraphs. Round letters and bowls stay consistent in curvature, while diagonals (like in V/W/X/Y) remain sharp but not aggressive, maintaining an even, composed color across mixed text.
