A monoline sans with softened terminals and gently rounded joins that keep the texture smooth and even. Proportions are contemporary and slightly humanist: round letters are close to circular, counters are open, and curves transition cleanly into straight strokes without sharp corners. The uppercase reads steady and architectural, while the lowercase stays simple and legible with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and compact, unobtrusive details. Figures are straightforward and clear, with rounded shapes that match the overall curve language and maintain consistent color in text.
Works well for UI text, product interfaces, and dashboards where an even rhythm and open counters aid fast scanning. It also suits contemporary branding, packaging, and signage/wayfinding that benefits from a clean silhouette and friendly roundness. In editorial layouts it can serve as a neutral sans for headings and short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a neutral, utilitarian voice with subtle warmth from the rounded endings. It feels quietly technical without becoming cold, making it suitable for interfaces and brand systems that want clarity with a friendly edge.
Designed to provide a versatile, all-purpose sans with a clear geometric backbone and softened details for comfort in continuous reading. The letterforms prioritize straightforward recognition and consistent texture, aiming for broad usability across digital and print contexts.
Stroke endings tend to be clean and slightly softened rather than sharply cut, which reduces visual noise at larger sizes. Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, supporting a calm rhythm and consistent word shapes.
