A clean sans with largely geometric construction and even, monoline strokes. Round letters (C, O, Q) are smooth and circular, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) stay crisp with square terminals. Curves meet stems with minimal modulation, producing open counters and a clear, steady rhythm. The lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and relies on straightforward bowls and stems, giving the text a calm, uncluttered texture.
Works well for UI copy, dashboards, and product typography where a neutral voice and strong legibility are needed. Its open shapes and straightforward figures also suit signage, wayfinding, and general-purpose editorial layouts, especially at small to medium sizes.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a mild friendliness from the rounded shapes and open apertures. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than expressive, suitable for interfaces and informational settings where clarity is the main goal.
Designed to be a dependable, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency. The geometric underpinnings and restrained details suggest an intention to stay neutral and adaptable across branding, interface, and information design contexts.
Capitals feel slightly engineered and balanced, with a consistent baseline and clean joins. Numerals are simple and highly legible, with the 1 featuring a small flag and the 0 remaining a plain oval, reinforcing a functional, system-like character.
