A rounded sans with monoline strokes and consistently softened corners across straight and curved segments. The shapes lean geometric, with circular bowls (notably in O/o) and squared-off curves that keep a steady, engineered rhythm. Counters are open and generously sized, and the overall spacing feels even and readable. Uppercase forms are compact and stable, while lowercase shows simple, contemporary constructions (single-storey a and g) and tall ascenders that keep the texture airy.
Well suited to UI labels, app navigation, and product experiences where clarity at small-to-medium sizes matters and a friendly voice is desired. It also works cleanly for branding, packaging, and wayfinding or signage, and can serve as a contemporary headline face when paired with a more neutral text font.
The rounded terminals and smooth joins give the face a warm, welcoming tone without becoming childish. It reads as contemporary and lightly playful, suitable for interfaces and brands that want to feel accessible and straightforward. The even stroke and tidy proportions project clarity and calm rather than formality.
The design appears intended to merge geometric simplicity with soft, rounded finishing to create a modern sans that feels personable and easy to read. Its consistent stroke treatment and open counters suggest an emphasis on clarity and a smooth, contemporary texture across display and functional applications.
Distinctive details include a Q with an internal vertical tail and numerals with softened, squared turns (the 2 and 3 especially). The 1 is a simple vertical with rounded ends, and the overall set maintains a consistent corner radius that ties letters and figures together.
