A clean sans with smooth, rounded stroke endings and an even, low-contrast line. Curves are built from broad circular/elliptical forms, giving letters like C, O, and Q a soft geometric regularity, while straight strokes stay simple and unembellished. Apertures are notably open (especially in e and c), counters are roomy, and overall spacing feels generous, producing an airy texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same restrained geometry, with a clear, open 4 and rounded 0/8 forms that keep the rhythm consistent.
Well-suited for interface copy, product and brand systems, and editorial layouts where a soft, modern sans is desired. The open forms and generous spacing help maintain clarity in paragraphs, while the rounded geometry also works nicely for headings, labels, and wayfinding at larger sizes.
The overall tone is calm and approachable, with a contemporary, slightly playful softness coming from the rounded terminals and spacious shapes. It reads as friendly and unobtrusive rather than technical or severe, making it feel comfortable in longer passages while still looking crisp in display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric feel with softened edges for warmth and readability. By keeping strokes uniform and forms open, it aims for an easy, versatile voice that remains legible and pleasant across a range of text and display applications.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a, a looped descender on g, and a Q with a short, clean tail, all of which reinforce the rounded, simplified construction. The uppercase set stays straightforward and legible, while the lowercase adds a touch of character without breaking consistency.
