This sans serif has compact proportions and a tightly controlled, even stroke throughout. Curves are smooth and round with circular counters, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical, producing a steady rhythm in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and functional, with open, uncluttered apertures on forms like C, G, and S, and straightforward, geometric construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
It works well for interface typography, forms, and labels where clarity at small sizes and consistent letter rhythm are important. The compact shapes also suit dashboards, tables, and short bursts of text such as captions, navigation, and product or system branding.
The overall tone is clean and neutral, leaning modern and utilitarian rather than expressive. Its compact stance and orderly shapes give it a technical, matter-of-fact voice that feels confident and straightforward in everyday UI and information design.
The design appears intended as a versatile, no-nonsense sans for general-purpose communication, prioritizing legibility and consistency across letters and numerals. Its restrained geometry and uniform stroke treatment suggest it’s meant to be dependable in both on-screen and print contexts without drawing attention away from the content.
Figures are clear and simplified, matching the letterforms’ restrained geometry and making the set feel consistent in mixed alphanumeric strings. The lowercase maintains a familiar, readable skeleton, while capitals stay broad and stable, supporting a balanced hierarchy when used in headlines and subheads.
