A monoline sans with broad, gently rounded forms and a distinctly horizontal stance. Curves are drawn from smooth circular/elliptical geometry, with soft corners and even stroke weight throughout. The design shows wide proportions and generous sidebearings, producing an open texture in running text. Uppercase shapes feel simple and engineered (notably the wide bowls and broad shoulders), while the lowercase maintains clear, open apertures and a straightforward construction; numerals follow the same rounded, even-weight logic with open counters and clean terminals.
Well-suited to modern branding systems, headlines, and poster typography where the wide proportions can breathe. It also works for UI or signage at larger sizes, where the open counters and simple geometry support quick recognition and a clean, contemporary look.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with an airy, spacious rhythm that reads as precise rather than expressive. Its rounded geometry gives it a friendly edge, but the restrained detailing keeps it feeling neutral and professional.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, modern sans voice built from geometric primitives, prioritizing openness and a smooth, even rhythm over compactness or calligraphic character.
Distinctive cues include the single-storey lowercase forms (visible in a and g), circular dots, and a generally wide set that emphasizes horizontal flow. The spacious proportions improve clarity at larger sizes, while the light, open drawing favors a clean, minimal presentation.
