A clean, monoline sans with rounded curves and gently tapered joins. Stroke endings are mostly plain and unembellished, with consistent terminals that keep the texture even in text. Capitals are straightforward and open, with generous counters and circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q) that lean slightly geometric, while the lowercase introduces a mild humanist warmth through shapes like the double-storey g and the soft-shouldered n and m. Figures are simple and readable, with clear differentiation between forms such as 0 and O through proportion and spacing rather than ornament.
Well-suited for interfaces, product copy, and general-purpose typography where a clean, consistent texture is important. Its simple forms and open counters also make it a good choice for signage and wayfinding, as well as editorial layouts and presentations that need a modern but unobtrusive voice.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, balancing a crisp, modern cleanliness with a subtle friendliness from its rounded construction. It feels calm and pragmatic rather than expressive, aiming for clarity and approachability in everyday settings.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes legibility and a balanced, contemporary rhythm. Its restrained detailing and rounded geometry suggest a focus on clarity across a range of sizes and contexts without calling attention to itself.
Spacing appears comfortable and airy, producing a smooth rhythm in running text. Letterforms favor open apertures and uncomplicated construction, helping maintain legibility at smaller sizes while still looking tidy at larger sizes.
