A rounded, geometric sans with substantial, even strokes and smoothly curved joins. Letterforms lean on circular and oval construction, with open apertures and generous counters that keep the shapes readable at larger display sizes. Terminals are softly finished rather than sharp, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel stable and slightly cushioned. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with compact shoulders and a straightforward, contemporary skeleton.
Well-suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and wayfinding where a friendly, modern sans is needed with strong presence. The open counters and rounded construction also fit UI labels and short text elements that benefit from clarity and a welcoming voice.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, balancing a clean, utilitarian structure with softened corners that add warmth. It reads as confident and accessible rather than technical or formal, making it feel inviting in headlines and brand-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans that feels approachable without losing visual authority. Its rounded terminals and simple, consistent construction suggest a focus on versatile display use and brand communication with a warm, modern character.
The numerals are rounded and robust, with an especially circular 0 and smooth, continuous curves in 2, 3, 5, and 8 that match the typeface’s soft geometry. Uppercase forms stay simple and solid, while the lowercase maintains a cohesive rhythm with consistent rounding and clear interior space.
