This typeface is a clean monoline sans with compact proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes are even and consistent, with squared-off outer geometry moderated by rounded terminals, giving the forms a neat, manufactured feel rather than a purely geometric one. Curves are smooth and circular in letters like C, G, O, and Q, while verticals remain straight and steady; counters are generally open and uncomplicated, supporting clear letter differentiation. Numerals follow the same restrained rhythm, with simple, readable constructions and minimal stroke modulation.
It performs well where a compact, straightforward sans is needed: UI labeling, dashboards, product labeling, and wayfinding at medium sizes. In longer passages it maintains a steady texture suitable for brochures, documentation, and general editorial use, especially when a contemporary, unobtrusive voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and neutral with a gentle friendliness from the rounded ends and softened corners. It feels practical and orderly—well-suited to interfaces and systems—without becoming cold or overly clinical.
The design appears intended as a versatile everyday sans: compact, legible, and visually calm, with rounded finishing that softens the tone while preserving a precise, system-friendly structure.
Uppercase forms read slightly more rigid and architectural, while the lowercase introduces softer joins and a casual flow, creating a balanced texture in mixed-case text. Spacing appears even and controlled, producing a tidy, consistent line color in the sample paragraphs.
