A rounded sans with monoline construction and softly squared curves. Strokes keep an even weight throughout, with generous counters and open apertures that maintain clarity at text sizes. Geometry leans circular in O/C/G and the bowls, while straight stems and diagonals remain clean and unmodulated. Terminals are smooth and slightly softened rather than sharply cut, giving the forms a calm, engineered rhythm across letters and numerals.
Works well for interface typography, product copy, and general-purpose editorial settings where a clean, modern sans is needed without sharpness. The open counters and rounded construction also suit branding systems, packaging, and light wayfinding where a friendly tone and consistent rhythm are beneficial.
The overall tone is approachable and contemporary, combining a clean, technical simplicity with gentle, rounded edges. It feels neutral and unfussy, with a light, open rhythm that reads as friendly rather than corporate or severe.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency, using rounded, monoline forms to deliver a modern look with a soft, approachable edge.
Uppercase forms are simple and geometric, while the lowercase stays restrained and legible with single-storey shapes where expected (notably a and g). Numerals follow the same rounded, even-stroke logic, keeping a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
