A monolinear sans with clean, unbracketed terminals and broadly circular curves. Proportions are balanced and contemporary, with open counters and apertures that keep letters readable at a range of sizes. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, round i/j dots, and a compact, orderly rhythm; the uppercase is simple and geometric with minimal modulation. Numerals are similarly plain and legible, matching the letterforms in stroke and overall color.
Works well for interface copy, documentation, and general-purpose text where straightforward readability is the priority. The open shapes and even spacing also suit signage, labels, and instructional materials, as well as clean editorial layouts and slide decks.
The overall tone is calm and functional, favoring clarity over personality. Its restrained geometry and even texture read as modern and matter-of-fact, with a mildly technical, interface-friendly feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary sans for everyday typography—prioritizing legibility, consistent rhythm, and a neutral voice suitable for broad, system-like use.
Round forms like O/Q and C/G are smooth and near-circular, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and consistent, giving a tidy, engineered impression. The sample text shows stable word shapes and an even typographic color in longer passages.
