A clean, monoline sans with rounded curves and gently squared joins that keep the shapes crisp without feeling sharp. Proportions are balanced and steady, with open apertures and circular counters that read clearly in both uppercase and lowercase. Strokes maintain consistent thickness, and spacing feels even, producing a calm, predictable texture in paragraphs and UI-sized text.
Works well for interface typography, web layouts, and general-purpose editorial text where consistent rhythm and legibility are needed. Its clean geometry also suits straightforward branding systems, wayfinding, and informational graphics that benefit from a neutral, contemporary sans.
The overall tone is modern and neutral, leaning friendly due to the rounded forms and open, approachable letter shapes. It feels professional and unobtrusive, suited to communication where clarity and restraint matter more than personality-driven styling.
Designed to provide a versatile, modern sans voice with clear shapes, even color, and dependable readability. The emphasis appears to be on simplicity and consistency across cases and numerals for broad everyday use.
Uppercase forms are simple and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, contemporary construction (notably the single-storey forms visible in characters like “a” and “g”). Numerals match the letterforms with smooth curves and consistent stroke weight, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across mixed content.
