A clean sans with softly rounded terminals and gently modulated, near-monoline strokes. Forms favor open counters and smooth curves, with straightforward, unembellished construction in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows clear, readable shapes with a single-storey a and g, a modestly sized dot on i/j, and balanced ascenders/descenders that keep texture even. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the letterforms with consistent curvature and calm spacing.
Works well for interface copy and general reading sizes thanks to open counters and steady spacing. It also suits editorial layouts and brand systems that need a neutral but personable sans, and can scale to signage and headings where its rounded, clean shapes remain clear.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a relaxed, approachable voice rather than a strictly technical or formal one. Its smooth curves and open shapes give it a welcoming, everyday character suited to broad, general-purpose use.
Designed to provide an unobtrusive, highly readable sans for everyday typography, balancing neutral structure with subtle warmth. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistent rhythm in paragraphs, and friendly, contemporary shapes that stay versatile across contexts.
Round letters like C, O, and Q read smooth and stable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp without feeling sharp. The design maintains a steady rhythm in text, with clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/l/1) primarily through proportion and curvature rather than decorative details.
