A clean sans with gently humanist proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Stroke endings are mostly soft and subtly tapered rather than abruptly cut, giving the letterforms a slightly warm, drawn feel while keeping a crisp overall silhouette. Counters are open and generous, with clear apertures in letters like C, S, e, and a, supporting legibility in running text. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and a two-storey g with a distinct ear, plus a compact, readable f and a straightforward t with a short crossbar; figures are lining and fairly even in width, with a clearly differentiated 0 and 8.
Well-suited to interface copy, product and brand systems, and general-purpose editorial typography where a neutral sans is needed for paragraphs and headings. The open forms and clear punctuation make it a solid choice for instructional content, dashboards, and signage at moderate sizes.
The tone is contemporary and approachable—quietly friendly without becoming playful. It reads as practical and dependable, suited to straightforward communication where a soft, human edge is preferred over a strictly geometric feel.
Designed to deliver an all-purpose sans voice that balances neutrality with subtle warmth. The forms prioritize clarity and consistent rhythm in continuous reading while maintaining a tidy, modern appearance for display use.
Round characters (O/C/G/0) are slightly ovalized, and the overall rhythm is even, producing stable word shapes. The capitals feel clean and composed, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through its curved joins and gently rounded terminals.
