A rounded geometric sans with monoline construction and generous curves that keep counters broad and open. Uppercase forms are clean and straightforward, with circular O/C-like geometry and smooth joins; diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X are crisp but softened by rounded finishing. Lowercase characters echo the same geometry with compact proportions and a notably short x-height, producing a tidy, slightly bouncy rhythm in text. Figures are simple and legible, leaning on circular bowls and even stroke color for consistent texture.
Works well for interface typography, product branding, and packaging where a clean, friendly voice is needed. The open counters and even strokes support clear headlines and short-to-medium reading, and the rounded geometry lends itself to wayfinding and signage systems that prioritize approachability.
The overall tone is approachable and contemporary, combining a neutral, functional skeleton with soft, rounded details. It feels friendly and lightly playful without becoming informal or hand-drawn, making it suitable for designs that want warmth while staying clean and modern.
Likely designed to deliver a modern geometric sans feel with softened edges, balancing neutrality with a personable character. The short x-height and rounded forms suggest an emphasis on distinctive display texture and brand tone rather than purely utilitarian long-form reading.
Roundness is a defining motif across bowls, shoulders, and terminals, creating smooth spacing and a cohesive texture at display sizes. Several lowercase forms (notably a, e, and t) contribute distinctive silhouettes that add personality while maintaining clarity.
