A rounded, monoline sans with softly curved terminals and consistently even stroke weight. The proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with open apertures and clear, simple construction that keeps counters generous and forms highly legible. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), while joins and corners are subtly eased rather than sharp, producing an overall gentle texture. The lowercase reads straightforward and utilitarian, with unobtrusive details and a steady rhythm that stays even across text.
It suits UI and product interfaces where clarity at smaller sizes matters, as well as wayfinding and signage that benefits from open, simple shapes. The friendly rounding also makes it a good fit for modern consumer branding, packaging, and editorial subheads where a clean but inviting voice is desired.
The tone is friendly and neutral, combining a modern, tech-adjacent cleanliness with a softer, human feel. Rounded endings reduce severity, making the font feel approachable and calm rather than industrial or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans-serif workhorse with softened edges—prioritizing legibility and a steady reading rhythm while adding warmth through rounded terminals and smooth curves.
Distinctive rounded caps and terminals give the face a cohesive softness across both letters and figures. The numerals follow the same smooth, monoline logic, keeping a consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
