A clean, rounded sans with even, monoline strokes and softly curved terminals. Letterforms lean on circular and elliptical construction, producing smooth bowls and consistently rounded corners, while keeping straightforward, upright proportions. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, helping characters remain distinct in running text. The lowercase shows simple, uncluttered forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same soft, geometric rhythm.
Works well for interface labels, product UI, and web typography where a friendly, modern sans is desired. Its open shapes and steady rhythm also suit brand systems, lightweight editorial applications, and clear signage-style headings at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a calm, non-technical warmth created by rounded corners and smooth curves. It reads as approachable and informal without becoming playful or exaggerated, making it feel suitable for everyday interfaces and modern brand voice.
Likely designed to provide a straightforward, contemporary sans with softened geometry—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and an approachable feel in both short labels and longer passages.
Uppercase forms appear balanced and steady, with round letters (O, C, G, Q) emphasizing the font’s circular construction, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain clean and crisp. The sample text shows comfortable spacing and a consistent texture that stays legible at larger paragraph sizes.
