A spare, rounded sans with consistent, hairline strokes and generous interior counters. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry, while straight stems stay crisp and vertical, creating a clean, linear rhythm. Terminals are simple and unembellished, and joins remain restrained, giving the alphabet an even, quiet texture. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with ample white space and a slightly informal, hand-drawn softness in some curves.
Best used at larger sizes where the fine strokes can remain clear—such as headlines, subheads, poster typography, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or captions in clean layouts when printed or displayed with sufficient size and contrast.
The overall tone is calm and gentle, with an airy presence that feels approachable rather than assertive. Its light touch and rounded construction suggest a contemporary, minimalist sensibility suited to understated, design-forward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a light, modern sans with rounded geometry and minimal detailing, prioritizing clarity through open counters and an even monoline construction. It aims for a refined, unobtrusive personality that complements contemporary layouts without adding heavy stylistic baggage.
Uppercase forms read open and geometric, with round letters staying nearly circular and straight-sided letters keeping ample spacing. Lowercase forms maintain a simple, single-storey feel where applicable, reinforcing a casual, uncomplicated voice while staying visually consistent with the uppercase and figures.
