A monoline sans with softly squared, superelliptical curves and generally straight terminals. The forms feel geometric but not rigid: bowls and counters are rounded-rectangular, while joins stay clean and unembellished. Proportions are balanced and legible, with open apertures and generous internal space; diagonals are crisp, and round characters like O and 0 maintain a calm, even silhouette. Numerals share the same understated construction, with simple, readable shapes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited for interface typography, product labeling, and general-purpose branding where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. Its open counters and steady rhythm also make it a solid option for longer passages in editorial layouts and for data-forward contexts such as dashboards, captions, and informational graphics.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, with a mild friendliness from the rounded geometry. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than expressive, lending a quiet, technical confidence without feeling cold.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, modern workhorse sans with a subtle geometric signature. By pairing rounded-rectangle curves with restrained detailing, it targets clarity across sizes while adding just enough character for contemporary digital and product environments.
Spacing and stroke behavior produce an even texture in paragraph settings, and the rounded-square construction gives the face a distinctive identity while remaining unobtrusive. The design avoids sharp calligraphic cues, keeping emphasis on clarity and consistency across letters and figures.
