A monoline sans with slender strokes and a calm, even rhythm. Forms lean toward geometric construction—round letters are close to circular, while straighter characters keep simple, unembellished joins. Curves are smooth and consistent, with open apertures that keep counters clear. Uppercase proportions are tidy and restrained, and the lowercase shows a notably high x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, helping maintain a steady text color. Numerals follow the same straightforward, linear logic with clean curves and minimal ornamentation.
Well-suited to interface copy and product typography where a clean, unobtrusive tone is needed. It also works for long-form reading in editorial settings, as well as wayfinding or signage that benefits from open, legible forms. The straightforward numerals make it a practical choice for charts, tables, and information design.
The overall tone is clear and contemporary, with a quietly technical feel. Its simplicity reads as neutral and professional, avoiding expressive quirks in favor of a crisp, functional voice.
Designed to provide a modern, no-nonsense sans for everyday typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a stable reading rhythm. The high x-height and open forms suggest an emphasis on legibility in continuous text and small-to-medium sizes.
The lettershapes emphasize clarity through open bowls and uncomplicated junctions, and the spacing in the samples supports easy scanning. The design stays visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with smooth curves and minimal contrast creating a uniform texture.
