A clean, monoline sans with predominantly circular and elliptical construction, producing smooth bowls and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes maintain consistent thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are crisp and mostly straight-cut. Proportions feel balanced with clear counters and open apertures, aiding legibility in continuous text. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric, while the lowercase stays straightforward and readable with compact joins and restrained details.
Well suited for interface typography, product labeling, and general-purpose editorial use where clarity and an even typographic color are important. Its straightforward shapes also make it a solid choice for signage and lightweight branding systems that need a clean, contemporary voice across headings and text.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a friendly clarity that feels functional rather than expressive. Its round forms soften the texture on the page, keeping the voice approachable and contemporary without calling attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a versatile everyday sans: geometric enough to feel contemporary, but moderated for comfortable reading in longer passages. It prioritizes clarity, consistency, and a calm typographic presence across both display and text settings.
Numerals are clear and uncomplicated, matching the letterforms’ circular logic and even stroke weight. The sample text shows a consistent color and spacing that reads smoothly at paragraph sizes, with punctuation and diacritics appearing unobtrusive and well aligned.
