A monoline sans with gently rounded terminals and a smooth, even stroke throughout. The forms lean geometric, with circular bowls (O, C, G, o, e) and straightforward construction in diagonals and joins, producing a calm, consistent rhythm. Counters are open and generous for the weight, with uncomplicated curves and restrained detailing; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and overall spacing reads slightly open and uncluttered.
This face suits interface and product typography where a light, refined voice is needed, as well as modern branding and packaging that benefits from a clean, minimal wordmark style. It also works for short-to-medium editorial settings and presentation decks, where its open shapes and consistent rhythm help maintain clarity at larger text sizes.
The overall tone is quiet and contemporary, with an airy lightness that feels approachable rather than clinical. Its soft rounding and uncomplicated shapes give it a friendly, understated character suitable for clean visual systems.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimal sans with softened geometry—prioritizing visual simplicity, smoothness, and an unobtrusive texture in running text while keeping letterforms distinctive through open counters and clear, rounded construction.
Numerals are similarly simple and rounded, matching the letterforms’ circular logic and light touch. The design avoids sharp corners and ornamental gestures, favoring smooth curves and clear silhouettes that keep lines of text looking even and calm.
