A compact, rounded sans with monoline strokes and softly curved terminals. Letterforms lean on circular and elliptical construction, with open apertures and generous internal counters that keep the texture light. The caps are simple and built from clean arcs and straight stems, while the lowercase adds warmth through single‑storey forms (notably a and g) and smooth joins. Figures follow the same soft, even stroke logic, reading clearly with rounded corners and minimal contrast.
Works well for interface labels, product branding, and packaging where a clean but personable sans is needed. Its rounded, open shapes make it suitable for short headlines and display text, and it can also carry readable snippets of copy when set with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a gentle, informal charm. Rounded endings and open shapes give it an approachable, human feel without becoming overly quirky, making it read as casual and upbeat.
Designed to deliver a modern, rounded sans voice that stays neutral enough for everyday use while adding warmth through soft terminals and simple, open constructions. The goal appears to be clarity and friendliness with a light, uncluttered rhythm.
Spacing appears even and restrained, producing a tidy rhythm in text. Several glyphs favor simplicity over rigidity—curves stay smooth, diagonals are clean, and terminals avoid sharp cuts—supporting a consistent, soft-edged voice across letters and numerals.
