A clean sans with subtly humanist construction and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are smooth and even, with open apertures and generous counters that keep letters clear at text sizes. Curves are broadly circular (not geometric-stiff), and joins feel slightly softened, giving the alphabet a calm, approachable texture. The lowercase shows straightforward forms with a two-storey “a” and single-storey “g”, while capitals stay simple and evenly proportioned; numerals are plain and readable with consistent spacing.
Works well for interface copy, product and brand systems that need a quiet, dependable sans, and general editorial or document typography. The open forms and balanced spacing support comfortable reading in paragraphs as well as clear labeling in charts, navigation, and informational layouts.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its softened details add a mild friendliness, making it feel approachable without becoming playful or informal.
The design appears intended as a versatile, everyday sans that stays legible and calm across a wide range of sizes and contexts. Its softened, humanist cues suggest an emphasis on readability and approachability rather than sharp geometric precision.
Round letters like C, O, and G are wide and smooth, and the type maintains a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text. Details like the curved tail on Q and the simple, uncluttered terminals contribute to an unobtrusive, UI-ready appearance.
