This is a monoline sans with smooth, round-leaning construction and gently modulated curves. Strokes are even and unbroken, with soft, rounded terminals and clean joins that keep counters open and legible. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary: round letters read broadly circular, while verticals stay straight and steady, producing an orderly rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are simple and functional, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and an overall airy color aided by generous internal space.
It suits interface copy, documentation, and general-purpose body text where an even, unobtrusive texture is preferred. The open shapes and straightforward forms also work well for presentations, wayfinding-style labels, and clean brand systems that need a neutral sans foundation.
The tone is calm and straightforward, aiming for clarity without looking sterile. Its restrained geometry and soft curves give it a friendly, modern voice that can feel quietly technical in UI-like contexts while remaining neutral enough for general communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile everyday sans: clean, consistent, and easy to read across sizes, with softened details to avoid harshness while maintaining a modern, functional feel.
Figures are simple and readable, with smooth curves and consistent stroke behavior that matches the letters. The overall spacing and sidebearings appear comfortable, producing an even texture in multi-line paragraphs.
