A clean monoline sans with gently rounded geometry and smooth, circular curves. Strokes maintain an even thickness with minimal modulation, producing a crisp, consistent texture in text. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with small lowercase bodies relative to tall ascenders/descenders, creating a distinctly elongated rhythm. Counters are open and simple, terminals are plain and unadorned, and spacing reads slightly generous for the narrow set, helping maintain clarity at display and text sizes.
Works well for user interfaces, dashboards, and product typography where a clean, low-friction reading experience is needed. The compact lowercase and tall extenders also make it suitable for captions, short paragraphs, and contemporary editorial layouts, while the tidy geometry supports understated branding, labels, and wayfinding.
The overall tone is modern and quiet, with a soft friendliness coming from the rounded bowls and straightforward construction. Its light, open feel suggests a contemporary, unobtrusive voice suited to clean interfaces and editorial settings where neutrality is desired.
Designed to deliver a minimalist sans voice with rounded geometry and a consistent monoline construction, prioritizing clarity and a calm, contemporary texture. The proportions and spacing suggest an aim for legibility in practical settings while retaining a refined, modern character.
Round characters like O and Q are near-circular, with a subtle, understated Q tail. Numerals are simple and readable with restrained curves and minimal detailing, aligning with the font’s pared-back, geometric sensibility.
