This is a clean, monoline sans with a distinctly geometric construction. Rounds are close to circular with smooth, even curves, while straight strokes meet with crisp, squared terminals. Counters are generous and consistent, and the overall rhythm is even and orderly across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase uses a single-storey “a” and “g”, and the figures are simple and straightforward with uniform stroke behavior and clear, open forms.
It suits interface text, product and tech branding, and wayfinding where a clean, contemporary sans is expected. The straightforward letterforms and ample counters also make it a solid option for editorial layouts, presentations, and general-purpose communication where a neutral typographic voice is desired.
The tone is modern and neutral, leaning toward a practical, contemporary voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its geometric steadiness and restrained detailing give it a quiet, technical confidence that feels at home in current UI and brand systems.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: geometric enough to feel contemporary, but restrained and consistent for broad everyday use. Its emphasis on even stroke behavior, open counters, and simple lowercase forms suggests a focus on clarity and system-friendly typography.
The design emphasizes clarity through open shapes and stable proportions, with minimal idiosyncrasies and consistent curves across letters and numerals. Diagonals and joins feel clean and engineered, supporting a tidy, grid-friendly look.
