A rounded, monoline sans with softly squared curves and consistently blunted terminals. Letterforms favor simple geometric construction with generous corner radii, creating an even, rhythmic texture in lines of text. Capitals are straightforward and open, while the lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g) and compact bowls that keep counters clear. Numerals match the same rounded, modular feel, with squared-off curves and uniform stroke behavior across the set.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and settings screens where a soft, legible sans is desired. Its consistent rhythm also suits coding or terminal-like presentations, as well as playful packaging, tech-forward posters, and short headlines where the rounded geometry can become part of the brand voice.
The overall tone is approachable and slightly whimsical, with a subtle tech/terminal feel driven by the rounded, modular construction. It reads cleanly but never feels sharp or formal, making it suited to friendly interfaces and lighthearted branding.
Likely designed to deliver a clear, utilitarian reading experience while adding warmth through rounded terminals and simplified geometry. The intent appears to balance a systematic, grid-friendly construction with a casual, modern personality.
Several glyphs lean into distinctive, simplified silhouettes (such as the angular K and the rounded, vertical-stem style of forms like J and t), giving the font a recognizable voice without relying on decorative details. The consistent stroke endings and corner treatment help maintain cohesion across mixed-case text and numerals.
