A clean sans with gently rounded terminals and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are consistently weighted, with smooth curves and open apertures that keep counters clear at text sizes. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with moderate cap height and a straightforward, legible lowercase; the single-storey “a” and compact, rounded “g” reinforce an informal, contemporary construction. Numerals are simple and readable, with round forms and minimal detailing.
Well-suited for interface copy, documentation, and general-purpose body text where clarity and a steady reading rhythm matter. Its open shapes and rounded finish also fit product branding, wayfinding, and presentation graphics that need a contemporary, approachable voice.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, reading as neutral and unobtrusive with a slight warmth from the softened corners. It feels practical and friendly rather than strict or technical, supporting clear communication without drawing attention to itself.
Designed to be a versatile, everyday sans that prioritizes legibility and consistency. The rounded terminals and simplified lowercase forms suggest an intention to soften the tone while keeping the overall structure straightforward and broadly usable across print and screen contexts.
Curved letters (like C, S, and O) lean toward circular geometry, while joins and terminals stay subtly softened instead of sharply cut. The shapes maintain clear differentiation between similar glyphs, and spacing appears even in running text, giving paragraphs a steady, uncluttered texture.
