A wide, monoline sans with rounded geometry and softly squared curves. Counters are open and generous, and the overall spacing feels airy, with broad proportions in both uppercase and lowercase. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, with minimal stroke modulation and smooth joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp without becoming sharp. Lowercase forms lean toward single‑storey constructions (notably a and g), reinforcing a simplified, contemporary texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, brand wordmarks, and short-to-medium text in interfaces where a spacious, contemporary sans is desired. It also works well in posters and packaging where wide, rounded forms can project clarity and friendliness, though its width may require tighter copy or more layout space in longer passages.
The font reads as modern and approachable, combining a rational, engineered structure with friendly roundness. Its wide stance and open shapes create a calm, confident tone that feels contemporary rather than retro, suitable for clear, straightforward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans with a wide footprint and approachable rounded construction. It prioritizes openness and even color for legibility and a polished, modern presence across display typography and UI-forward layouts.
In the sample text, the large x-height and open bowls maintain clarity at display and subhead sizes, while the broad widths noticeably increase line length. Figures are rounded and consistent in color, matching the letterforms’ geometric rhythm.
