A rounded, geometric sans with smooth curves, uniform stroke thickness, and softly finished terminals. Capitals are broad and steady, with simple, open forms (notably in C, G, and S) and clear internal counters. Lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” compact joins, and a straightforward, contemporary construction; the “t” has a clean crossbar and the “r” stays restrained. Figures are simple and robust, with clear, near-circular bowls and an overall even color in text.
Well-suited to interface copy, product branding, and general-purpose display where a clean, contemporary sans is needed. Its rounded geometry and even rhythm also work well for short headlines, labels, and wayfinding or signage that benefits from clear, simple shapes.
The tone is modern and approachable, balancing neutrality with a friendly softness from its rounded geometry. It feels calm and dependable rather than expressive, lending a contemporary, product-forward character without looking cold or overly technical.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes clarity and smooth geometry. It aims to provide a modern, friendly voice that remains neutral enough for broad editorial and digital use.
Spacing and proportions read comfortably in paragraph settings, with good separation between similar shapes and consistent curves across rounds. The design favors clarity through open apertures and uncomplicated letterforms, producing a steady texture at larger text sizes.
