A clean, monoline sans with geometric construction and softly rounded curves. Circular letters (O, C, G, Q) read as near-perfect rounds, while verticals and diagonals stay straight and even, creating a steady rhythm. Counters are open and the spacing feels generous, helping the forms stay clear at text sizes. Uppercase proportions are balanced and straightforward; lowercase forms are simple and legible with a two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and compact, unobtrusive terminals.
Works well for interface copy, product and web typography, and general-purpose editorial settings where clarity and a steady texture matter. The open shapes and even stroke behavior also suit wayfinding and labels, and it can support understated branding that aims for a modern, uncomplicated feel.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a calm neutrality that doesn’t call attention to itself. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness while staying businesslike and restrained.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes clean geometry, consistent rhythm, and unobtrusive readability. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on broad usability across digital and print contexts rather than expressive display styling.
Figures appear modern and simple, with a clean “1” and a curved, open “2” and “3,” matching the same monoline logic as the letters. The capital “Q” uses a subtle tail, and the “G” includes a clear horizontal bar, reinforcing the font’s crisp, functional character.
