A clean sans with a monoline stroke and consistently rounded terminals. The letterforms lean slightly geometric, with smooth curves, open apertures, and generously rounded corners that keep shapes from feeling sharp. Proportions are even and readable, with straightforward construction in capitals and simple, single-storey lowercase forms; round letters like O/C are softly squared, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay crisp but end in softened tips. Numerals follow the same logic, with rounded joins and an overall steady rhythm in text.
Works well for interface typography, dashboards, and product design where a clean, legible sans is needed but with a friendlier voice than a hard-edged grotesk. It also suits contemporary branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from rounded, approachable forms.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, balancing a technical, UI-like neatness with a softer, more welcoming warmth from the rounded endings. It feels calm and non-authoritarian, making it suitable for communication that aims to be clear without looking stern.
The design appears intended to deliver modern legibility with softened geometry—maintaining a neutral, functional sans structure while adding rounded terminals to project warmth and accessibility.
In running text, spacing and stroke consistency create an even texture, while the rounded corners give headings a distinctive, gentle silhouette. The design avoids high contrast or calligraphic cues, prioritizing clarity and a polished, streamlined look.
