This sans serif has a monoline construction with smoothly drawn circular and elliptical curves and straight-sided stems. Counters are roomy and open, and joins are clean and unembellished, giving letters a crisp, uncluttered rhythm. Uppercase forms are simple and geometric with wide, rounded bowls (B, D, O, Q) and straightforward diagonals (V, W, X, Y), while the lowercase keeps single-storey a and g with round bowls and short, tidy terminals. Numerals follow the same clean geometry, with a rounded 0 and evenly weighted strokes that hold up well at display sizes.
It works well for interface labels, product and tech branding, and signage where clean shapes and open counters support quick recognition. The even texture also suits short-to-medium editorial text, captions, and infographic annotation, while the crisp geometry reads confidently in headlines and display settings.
The overall tone is contemporary and restrained, with an airy, minimalist feel. Its geometry and even stroke color create a quietly technical, system-like impression without feeling cold, making it suitable for modern interfaces and clear editorial hierarchies.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, modern sans with geometric foundations and minimal stylistic noise. It prioritizes legibility through open forms and consistent stroke behavior while maintaining a polished, contemporary character for both screen and print applications.
The font shows consistent curvature and stroke endings across letters and figures, with a notably circular “O” and a simple “Q” tail. The lowercase has friendly, rounded forms and a compact shoulder on letters like n and m, contributing to a smooth, even texture in paragraphs.
