A clean monoline sans with predominantly circular construction and gently rounded terminals. Curves are smooth and consistent, with open apertures in letters like C, G, e, and s that keep counters clear. Proportions feel balanced and slightly generous in spacing, giving text an airy rhythm. Uppercase forms stay simple and geometric, while the lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and straightforward, unembellished joins that maintain a uniform texture in paragraphs.
It performs well for UI text, product copy, and general-purpose editorial layouts where clarity and even rhythm are important. The open counters and restrained shapes also suit diagrams, dashboards, and presentation typography that needs to stay legible at a range of sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and neutral, leaning friendly through its rounded geometry and open forms. It reads as calm and unobtrusive, suitable for interfaces and informational settings where the type should support content rather than draw attention.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans built around simple geometric primitives and consistent stroke logic. Its open shapes and minimal detailing suggest an emphasis on readability and neutral branding across digital and print contexts.
Numerals are simple and readable with consistent stroke behavior; the 0 is oval and the 1 is a plain vertical form, keeping the set understated. Diacritics visible in the sample (such as the dotted ï) sit cleanly and align well with the letterforms, reinforcing the font’s orderly, system-ready feel.
