A clean, monoline sans with compact proportions and a steady, even stroke. The letterforms favor simple geometric construction with rounded curves and minimal modulation, producing a consistent texture in text. Counters are open and the shapes stay uncluttered, while terminals read as softly rounded rather than sharply cut. In running copy the rhythm is orderly and legible, with clear separation between characters and a slightly elongated feel in vertical strokes.
Works well for interface copy, navigation, and product labeling where clarity and a calm typographic color are important. The compact width and clean outlines also suit signage and wayfinding, as well as captions and structured documents like tables and forms.
The overall tone is modern and practical, with a friendly neutrality that avoids being overly clinical. Its restrained geometry and even color give it a dependable, no-nonsense presence suited to informational typography.
Designed to provide a simple, highly legible sans voice with consistent stroke behavior and unobtrusive character. The intention appears to prioritize clarity, compact efficiency, and a neutral contemporary feel for general-purpose use.
Numerals follow the same straightforward construction as the letters, with clear silhouettes and balanced proportions. In the sample text, the type holds together smoothly across mixed case, punctuation, and varied word shapes without drawing attention to any decorative quirks.
