A monoline, geometric sans with generous proportions and rounded bowl construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while straight strokes stay crisp and even, producing a clean, low-detail rhythm. The lowercase shows a notably large x-height with simple, open forms; terminals are mostly blunt, and joins are kept unobtrusive. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained geometry, with ample internal space and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short UI labels where its spacious geometry can be appreciated. It can work for posters and packaging that want a sleek, contemporary feel, and for interface styling in large sizes; for long text, it benefits from comfortable size and contrast to maintain legibility.
The overall tone is calm and refined, with a modern, slightly sci‑fi edge driven by its open shapes and thin, continuous strokes. It feels precise and understated rather than expressive, projecting clarity and quiet sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary geometric voice with maximum visual lightness and a spacious, modern silhouette. Its simplified forms and consistent stroke system suggest a focus on minimalism and a polished display presence.
Wide set widths and roomy counters give it strong presence at display sizes, while the extremely light strokes make it sensitive to low-resolution rendering and low-contrast backgrounds. The design reads as intentionally simplified, prioritizing smooth geometry and whitespace over calligraphic nuance.
