A monoline sans with broadly rounded geometry and generous internal space. Curves read as smooth, elliptical bowls (notably in C, O, and G), while straight strokes stay crisp and evenly weighted, creating a calm, even rhythm across words. Corners are softened throughout, and junctions are kept simple, with minimal modulation between verticals and curves. The lowercase maintains clear, open apertures and uncomplicated forms, and the numerals follow the same rounded, linear construction for a consistent texture in mixed text.
Best suited to display use where its wide proportions and thin strokes can breathe—such as headlines, brand marks, posters, and large-format signage. It can also work in interface or editorial display settings when set at comfortable sizes and with measured tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, with a light, airy feel that suggests contemporary tech, design, or architecture contexts. Its wide stance and rounded shapes lend a friendly neutrality, while the spareness and clean stroke endings keep it feeling sleek and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric readability with a refined, lightweight presence—prioritizing smooth rounded forms and a consistent linear stroke to create a clean, modern texture in short to medium-length text.
Round characters dominate the visual voice, giving lines of text a smooth, continuous flow; the wide spacing and open counters prevent the light strokes from clogging at larger sizes. Diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y stay sharp and clean, balancing the softer bowls elsewhere.
