A rounded sans with smooth, fully softened terminals and gently squared curves. Strokes keep an even, monoline feel, while bowls and counters stay open and generously spaced for clarity. The uppercase is sturdy and slightly wide-set with simplified geometry; lowercase forms are compact and readable with plain, single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and minimal detailing. Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with clean, unbroken curves and straightforward proportions that remain legible at a glance.
Works well for interface copy, labels, and headings where a gentle, non-intimidating tone is desired. Its open counters and simple forms support short paragraphs and product copy, while the rounded geometry makes it especially suitable for consumer branding, packaging, and approachable display use.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, leaning informal without becoming novelty. The rounded finishing and even rhythm give it a calm, friendly voice that suits upbeat or human-centered messaging.
The design appears intended to offer a modern, highly readable sans with a softened edge—combining straightforward letterforms with rounded terminals to feel welcoming and contemporary across digital and print contexts.
Curves tend to resolve into softly squared corners, giving the design a contemporary, UI-friendly texture rather than a purely circular “bubble” look. The set maintains consistent corner radii across letters and digits, which reinforces a cohesive, polished appearance in text.
