A rounded sans with a monoline stroke and softly blunted terminals throughout. Curves are smooth and generously radiused, while joins stay clean and uncomplicated, giving the letterforms a calm, even rhythm. Proportions feel slightly playful: bowls are full and open, counters are clear, and several capitals (notably the round letters) read wide compared to straighter forms, lending a subtly variable overall texture. The lowercase has compact vertical proportions with simple, single-storey shapes (a, g) and a lightly built presence that stays highly legible in continuous text.
Well-suited to user interfaces, product copy, and general editorial settings where a friendly, readable sans is needed. The soft geometry also fits branding and packaging that aim for a contemporary, approachable voice, and it can work effectively for headings and short paragraphs where a clean but warm texture is desirable.
The font communicates an easygoing, friendly tone—modern and straightforward without feeling rigid. Its rounded endings and open shapes add warmth, making it feel informal and welcoming rather than technical or severe.
The design appears intended to provide a neutral, everyday sans with added warmth through rounded terminals and simple construction. It balances clarity with a casual, human feel, aiming for broad usability across text and display sizes without adopting a starkly geometric tone.
Round letters like O and Q appear very circular and prominent, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep smooth, softened corners that maintain the same gentle character. Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic, with clear, approachable shapes suited to general reading.
