A clean sans with softly rounded corners and gently squared curves, giving strokes a smooth, cushioned feel rather than sharp geometry. Letterforms show even, steady stroke thickness with minimal modulation and a consistent, regular rhythm across caps and lowercase. Counters are generally open and circular, with straightforward construction in forms like C/G and a single-storey lowercase a; joins and terminals tend to end in subtly rounded, horizontal or vertical cuts. Numerals follow the same plainspoken, rounded logic with clear silhouettes and simple structure.
Well-suited for interface labels, product copy, and general-purpose branding where a clean sans is needed but a colder technical feel is undesirable. It should also work effectively for short-to-medium headlines and signage thanks to its open forms, stable rhythm, and straightforward character shapes.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, balancing neutrality with a mild warmth from the rounded terminals. It reads as informal and approachable without becoming playful or quirky, making it feel familiar and easygoing.
The design appears intended to provide an all-purpose sans with softened geometry for a more welcoming voice, keeping forms simple and legible for broad everyday use. It prioritizes clarity and consistency while adding subtle friendliness through rounded terminals and smooth curves.
Capital shapes feel sturdy and calm with slightly softened corners, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open shapes and uncomplicated details. The set keeps a consistent visual color in text, avoiding overly tight or fussy features that could distract in continuous reading.
