A clean sans with monolinear strokes and a distinctly expansive set width. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry and open apertures, producing broad counters in letters like C, O, e, and a. Terminals read as crisp and controlled, with consistent stroke endings and a steady baseline rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sharp but not aggressive. Numerals are similarly open and simple, with clear, uncluttered forms and ample interior space.
Best suited to display sizes where its wide stance can breathe—headlines, posters, and signage benefit from the generous counters and open forms. It can also work for brand identities or interface display text when a clean, spacious, contemporary voice is desired, especially where clarity at a glance is important.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with an airy, engineered calm. Its wide proportions and restrained detailing give it a contemporary, system-like neutrality that feels clear and unembellished rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver straightforward legibility with a contemporary geometric flavor, emphasizing openness and even rhythm over stylistic quirks. The expansive proportions suggest a focus on high-visibility applications and a calm, modern typographic texture.
The wide set and open shapes create strong word-shape separation and a spacious texture in paragraphs. Curved letters stay very round, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L, T) keep a tidy, constructed feel; the combination reads as geometric without becoming rigid.
