A clean, rounded sans with a geometric skeleton and softened corners throughout. Curves tend toward superelliptical forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish-round rhythm rather than purely circular shapes. Strokes stay even and steady, with smooth joins and consistent terminals; the overall texture is calm and uniform in running text. Letterforms show generous apertures and open counters (notably in C, S, e, and a), supporting clarity at typical text sizes.
This font suits UI and product interfaces, dashboards, and web typography where a clean, rounded sans can improve approachability without sacrificing legibility. It also works well for branding systems and packaging that want a contemporary, friendly voice, and for editorial subheads or captions where an even, controlled texture is desirable.
The tone is modern and straightforward, with a mild friendliness from the rounded geometry. It reads as approachable and contemporary rather than technical or expressive, making it feel dependable and unobtrusive. The overall impression is practical and calm, suitable for interfaces and everyday communication.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, modern workhorse sans that pairs geometric order with softened superelliptical forms. Its consistent stroke behavior and open counters suggest a focus on readable, system-friendly typography that still feels warm and contemporary.
Uppercase proportions are tidy and restrained, while lowercase forms keep a simple, contemporary construction (single-storey a and g). Numerals are clear and familiar, with rounded shapes that match the letterforms and maintain consistent color alongside text.
