A rounded sans with smooth, geometric curves and straight stems that keep a consistent, even stroke. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, giving letters like C, S, and e a clear, breathable interior. The capitals read with a calm, engineered simplicity, while the lowercase shows a single‑storey a and g and a softly curved, open e that reinforces the rounded construction. Overall spacing feels roomy, with long horizontals and broad bowls creating an expansive texture in lines of text.
Well suited to branding systems, headlines, and display settings where a wide, open texture can communicate clarity and modernity. It can also work in interface labels and signage, especially where generous counters and straightforward shapes help maintain legibility at a glance.
The tone is modern and approachable, with a quiet, streamlined presence rather than a sharp or technical edge. Its wide, rounded forms feel friendly and contemporary, suggesting clarity and ease without becoming playful or quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans built from rounded geometry and ample internal space, aiming for a neutral-but-friendly voice. It prioritizes an even rhythm and smooth curves to produce a calm, accessible look across both capitals and lowercase.
Digits follow the same rounded geometry, with smooth curves in 2, 3, and 5 and a clean, open 4; the 0 is an oval that matches the letterforms’ proportions. The rhythm in text is even and steady, with circular shapes (o, e, c) anchoring a consistent, soft-ended silhouette across words.
