A slender, single-stroke sans with gently rounded terminals and a calm, even stroke rhythm. Curves lean toward circular/elliptical construction, giving bowls and counters a smooth, open feel, while verticals stay straight and consistent. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with relatively small counters at text sizes, and the overall set reads slightly condensed with careful spacing that keeps words legible. Figures are simple and unembellished, matching the letters’ restrained, geometric character.
Works well for interface text, labels, and short editorial elements where a light, uncluttered texture is desired. It also suits posters and minimalist branding systems that benefit from a gentle geometric look, especially at medium to large sizes where the rounded construction reads clearly.
The tone is quiet and approachable—modern and tidy without feeling clinical. Its soft rounding and light presence create an airy, polite voice that suits contemporary interfaces and understated branding.
The design appears intended as a clean, contemporary sans that prioritizes smooth geometry and a soft, friendly finish. It balances neutrality with subtle personality through rounded terminals and compact lowercase proportions for a controlled, modern typographic voice.
Round letters like O/Q/C/G emphasize clean geometry, and the design avoids sharp joins in favor of softened transitions. The uppercase feels simple and steady, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more casual rhythm, especially in curved and hooked forms, which adds warmth without becoming playful.
