A clean, upright sans with a slightly engineered feel, built from firm verticals and controlled curves. Strokes keep a consistent, regular color while key joins and terminals introduce sharp, angled cuts that give the outlines a faceted rhythm. Bowls and rounds (C, O, Q, e) are compact and smoothly drawn, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and the A apex show crisp geometry. Lowercase forms combine a tall x-height with open apertures and simple, unembellished terminals; the single-storey a and g, plus the vertical, straight-stemmed l, reinforce a straightforward, contemporary construction. Numerals follow the same logic, with clean curves on 0/6/8/9 and more angular, cut-in details on 4/7 for a cohesive set.
This font suits interface and product typography where a clean sans is needed but a more characterful, engineered flavor is desirable. It also performs well for editorial headings, brand systems, and poster or packaging applications that benefit from crisp geometry and distinctive, angular detailing.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a subtle technical edge created by the angled terminals and disciplined geometry. It reads clear and confident rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting a precise, contemporary voice suited to structured communication.
The design intent appears to balance neutral sans legibility with subtle, constructed details—using angled terminal cuts and controlled proportions to create a recognizable voice while maintaining a practical text rhythm.
Several glyphs show deliberate, slightly unconventional cuts at terminals and joins (notably on S, Z, and diagonals), adding character without sacrificing clarity. Spacing appears even and text color remains stable in paragraph setting, with distinctive letterforms that stay legible at display sizes.
