A clean, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broadly circular curves. Letterforms are built from simple arcs and straight segments with open apertures and generous counters, producing a clear, even texture in text. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with steady verticals, rounded bowls, and straightforward terminals that keep the forms crisp at display sizes and readable in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, mixing circular shapes with simple angled strokes for a cohesive set.
Well suited for interface copy, dashboards, and web typography where clarity and neutrality are priorities. It also works for editorial body text, corporate communication, and signage systems that need a clean, contemporary sans with predictable rhythm.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, projecting clarity and practicality rather than personality-driven ornament. Its geometric restraint and smooth curves give it a subtly technical, contemporary feel that stays neutral across different content.
The design appears intended as a versatile, all-purpose geometric sans: simple construction, consistent stroke behavior, and open shapes aimed at reliable legibility and a modern, unobtrusive voice across display and text settings.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a calm typographic color, with round letters (like O/C/e) and straight-sided forms (like H/N/E) blending smoothly. Diacritics or stylistic alternates are not shown; the visible set emphasizes straightforward, no-nonsense shapes.
