A compact, tall-proportioned sans with monoline strokes and smoothly rounded corners throughout. Curves are built from even, circular geometry, while straights stay crisp, producing a clean rhythm in text. Terminals tend to be softly finished rather than sharply cut, and counters are open and generous for the width. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), a short-armed t, and a compact, readable numeral set with a slashed zero.
Well-suited to interface labels, app/website UI, and wayfinding where clean shapes and open counters help quick recognition. Its compact width and tall stance also make it effective for branding, packaging, and poster headlines that need a modern, friendly voice while staying space-efficient.
The overall tone feels modern and approachable, with a slightly playful edge coming from the rounded construction and simplified lowercase forms. It reads as casual and contemporary rather than formal or corporate, making it feel friendly in both headlines and short passages.
Likely designed as a practical everyday sans that stays highly legible in compact settings while maintaining a warm, contemporary character. The rounded geometry and simplified lowercase suggest an aim for approachability and clarity across display and text use.
Letterforms keep a consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving a cohesive texture in paragraph samples. The design favors clarity through open shapes and straightforward geometry, while distinctive details (like the slashed zero and simplified g) add recognizable personality without becoming decorative.
