A slim monoline sans with softly rounded corners and smooth, circular curves. The proportions feel compact with relatively short ascenders/descenders and a prominent lowercase presence, producing an even, vertical rhythm. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and counters stay open and legible in both uppercase and lowercase. Overall spacing appears restrained and orderly, supporting a tidy texture in continuous text.
Works well for interface text, navigation, and compact labels where a clean, uncluttered texture is desired. It also suits captions and short editorial passages, and can serve as a restrained companion in brand systems that need a modern, approachable sans.
The tone is contemporary and understated, with a gentle friendliness coming from the rounded geometry and open shapes. It reads as calm and efficient rather than expressive, giving layouts a neat, unobtrusive voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, space-efficient sans that stays readable at small to medium sizes while maintaining a smooth, geometric personality. Its consistent stroke behavior and open counters suggest an emphasis on clarity and typographic neutrality.
Round letters like O/0 and C are close to elliptical, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain crisp without becoming sharp or aggressive. Numerals are simple and clear, matching the letterforms’ light, streamlined construction for consistent color across mixed text.
