A restrained sans with monolinear strokes, open apertures, and compact proportions. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-geometric rounding, while joins and terminals stay blunt and undecorated. The uppercase set is straightforward and stable, with broad verticals and minimal modulation; the lowercase follows a simple, workmanlike construction with single-storey forms where shown and clear, uncluttered counters. Numerals are plain and evenly weighted, matching the letters’ neutral rhythm and keeping curves clean and consistent.
Well-suited to interface typography, product labeling, and wayfinding where a steady rhythm and clean outlines help sustain readability. It can also serve as a neutral supporting sans in editorial layouts, captions, and data-forward documents where a dependable, unobtrusive voice is preferred.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its quiet geometry and even color give it a matter-of-fact, functional voice that feels at home in modern interfaces and informational settings.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose sans focused on clarity and consistency, using simplified constructions and open forms to perform reliably across a range of everyday text and display sizes.
Spacing and stroke color read consistently across the alphabet, and the punctuation shown in the sample text sits quietly without drawing attention. The design favors legibility through openness in letters like C, G, S, and e, and avoids stylistic quirks that would shift it toward a display or expressive role.
