A rounded, monoline sans with softly squared terminals and generous internal space. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-geometric arcs, while joins and endpoints are subtly eased rather than sharply cut, giving the letterforms a calm, polished finish. Proportions feel broad and steady, with open counters and clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and diagonals; numerals follow the same rounded, even-stroke construction for a cohesive set.
Works well for UI and product typography, dashboards, and web copy where clear shapes and open counters aid quick scanning. The rounded finish also suits branding, packaging, and wayfinding systems that want a contemporary look with a softer, more personable edge.
The overall tone is modern and friendly, pairing a clean, contemporary structure with softened details that reduce severity. It reads as approachable and mildly tech-leaning, suitable for interfaces and brand systems that want clarity without harshness.
Likely designed to deliver a straightforward, highly legible sans for modern digital and print contexts, balancing geometric simplicity with rounded terminals to keep the voice warm and accessible.
Round letters like O/C/G show consistent curvature and balanced counters, and the lowercase maintains clear shapes with simple, single-storey forms where expected. Spacing appears comfortable, supporting legibility in continuous text while keeping a neat, orderly rhythm.
