A clean sans with gently rounded construction and mostly monolinear strokes. Curves are smooth and circular, with open apertures and generous counters that keep shapes clear at text sizes. Terminals are largely straight or softly finished rather than sharply cut, and the overall rhythm is even with unforced proportions. The lowercase shows simple, readable forms (single-storey “a” and “g”), while the figures are straightforward and well balanced, with a noticeably open “4” and rounded bowls across 6/8/9.
It is well suited to interface typography and general-purpose body text where clarity and steady color are important. The open forms and straightforward numerals also make it a practical choice for information design, light editorial layouts, and clean brand systems that need a modern but approachable tone.
The design reads as contemporary and approachable, balancing a neutral, utilitarian feel with soft, rounded details. It suggests clarity and calm rather than overt personality, making it feel friendly without becoming playful.
The font appears designed as a versatile everyday sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency, using rounded geometry and open counters to keep text readable while maintaining a contemporary, neutral voice.
Diagonal joins and angled strokes (notably in K, V, W, X) are crisp and stable, while round letters maintain consistent curvature. Overall spacing appears comfortable and uncompressed, supporting an even texture in paragraphs.
