A rounded sans with smooth, circular bowls and softly finished terminals. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast monoline feel, with generous curves and open apertures that keep letters readable at text sizes. Proportions lean slightly geometric—round forms like O/C/G read as near-circular—while verticals remain straightforward and upright, creating a steady rhythm. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction (notably a and g), and numerals are similarly clean and rounded in structure.
Works well for user interfaces, product branding, and general editorial text where a modern, approachable sans is needed. The open forms and rounded construction also suit signage and packaging applications that benefit from friendly clarity at a range of sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a gentle, non-technical warmth created by the rounded shapes and softened joins. It feels neutral and approachable rather than strict, making it suitable for brands that want clarity without a harsh edge.
Designed to provide a clean, contemporary sans voice with softened geometry for everyday readability. The consistent rounding and even stroke weight suggest an intention to balance modern simplicity with a welcoming, human feel.
Curves and terminals are consistently softened across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a cohesive, polished texture. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, supporting smooth word shapes and an easy reading flow.
