A clean sans with a geometric construction and monoline strokes. Round letters lean on near-circular bowls (O, C, G) while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. Curves transition smoothly into stems, with subtly rounded terminals and corners that soften the overall texture. Counters are roomy and apertures stay open, supporting clarity, while the overall proportions and spacing create an airy, contemporary color in text and display settings.
It performs well in UI and product contexts where clarity, consistent rhythm, and straightforward letterforms matter. The wide, open shapes also suit branding, signage, and headlines, while the even stroke behavior keeps paragraphs readable in editorial layouts and presentations.
The tone is modern and neutral with a quietly friendly edge. Its smooth curves and open forms feel approachable, while the disciplined geometry reads precise and contemporary—well-suited to interfaces and brand systems that want to feel clear and trustworthy rather than expressive or retro.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that balances geometric cleanliness with comfortable readability. It aims to provide a dependable typographic base for systems work—interfaces, wayfinding, and brand identities—without drawing attention away from the content.
The numerals follow the same geometric logic, with rounded forms and straightforward, highly legible silhouettes. Uppercase shapes feel structured and stable, while the lowercase maintains a simple, utilitarian rhythm that stays consistent across longer sample text.
