A rounded, monoline sans with softly squared curves and consistently blunted terminals. Proportions lean slightly wide with generous counters and open apertures, giving letters an airy, legible rhythm. Curves are smooth and fairly geometric, while joins and corners are subtly softened to avoid sharpness. The lowercase is simple and single‑storey where expected, with compact ascenders/descenders and clear, steady spacing that keeps text color even.
Works well for interface typography, product branding, and packaging where a warm, modern voice is needed. The open shapes and even stroke behavior support readability in short paragraphs, labels, and navigation, and the rounded forms also suit signage and wayfinding where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a gently playful softness that feels welcoming rather than technical. Its rounded construction reads informal and approachable while still staying clean enough for straightforward UI and brand usage.
Likely designed to provide a versatile, contemporary sans that softens geometric construction with rounded terminals for approachability. The consistent stroke and uncomplicated letterforms suggest an emphasis on clarity and broad usability across digital and print contexts.
Caps are sturdy and simplified, with rounded-rectangular bowls and clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms. Numerals follow the same rounded logic, staying bold and readable at a glance without decorative quirks.
