A compact, monoline sans with a straightforward, modern construction and restrained detailing. Strokes stay even and consistent, with mostly flat terminals and clean joins that keep letterforms crisp at text sizes. Rounds are smooth and fairly geometric, while straight-sided characters and squared shoulders give the overall texture a tidy, controlled rhythm. Counters are open and legible, with simple shapes in the numerals and a single-storey ‘a’ that reinforces the pared-back, contemporary feel.
Well suited for interfaces, dashboards, and product typography where compactness and clarity matter. It also works for captions, labels, forms, and general editorial text that benefits from a clean, even texture.
The tone is neutral and pragmatic, projecting clarity rather than personality. It reads as modern and slightly technical, with an unobtrusive voice suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose sans optimized for clear reading and efficient layout. Its simplified, geometric construction and consistent stroke treatment suggest a focus on legibility and neutral branding across a wide range of everyday applications.
Spacing and proportions create an efficient line length and an even gray value in paragraphs. The forms avoid decorative quirks, relying on consistent stroke behavior and uncomplicated silhouettes for readability.
