A minimalist monoline sans with near-uniform stroke weight and smooth, circular geometry. Curves are clean and generous (notably in C, O, Q, and G), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and evenly tensioned. Spacing feels measured and open, producing a calm rhythm in text; counters are wide and apertures remain clear, supporting a bright, uncluttered texture. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple, readable forms and consistent alignment across the set.
Well-suited to interface labels, navigation, and lightweight typographic systems where a clean, modern voice is needed. It also works for headlines, branding, and poster typography—especially at medium to large sizes—where its open forms and geometric calm can read as premium and contemporary. In longer passages, it performs best with comfortable size and spacing to preserve legibility and maintain its refined texture.
The overall tone is contemporary and restrained, projecting clarity and precision rather than personality-driven flair. Its light, open drawing reads as elegant and understated, with a quiet, modernist feel suited to polished visual systems.
Designed to deliver a pared-back, geometric sans voice with an emphasis on clarity, openness, and contemporary neutrality. The consistent monoline construction and generous counters suggest an intention to stay unobtrusive while still feeling polished in display settings.
Capital proportions are balanced and relatively narrow in visual footprint, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, unembellished construction with round dots and smooth joins. The sample text shows an even color at larger sizes, with a delicate presence that benefits from generous leading and careful background contrast.
