A clean, upright sans with softly rounded corners and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes are generally even but show gentle thick–thin behavior, most visible in curved joins and tapered terminals. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a slightly squarish, superelliptical feel rather than perfect circles. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open apertures, and clear interior space; the lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm reads smooth and slightly lively rather than strictly mechanical.
Works well for brand identities, packaging, and editorial headlines that want a friendly, contemporary look without feeling overly geometric. The open counters and moderate proportions support short-to-medium text settings, including UI labels, product descriptions, and educational or family-oriented material. It can also serve as a personable display face for posters or pull quotes when set larger.
The tone is approachable and lightly whimsical, combining modern simplicity with a hint of old-style warmth. Its rounded geometry and soft terminals make it feel friendly and conversational, while the controlled structure keeps it composed and readable. The result is a “gentle modern” voice that can feel both familiar and distinctive.
The design appears aimed at a modern sans with softened geometry—bringing superelliptical roundness and humanist detailing together for a distinctive but readable texture. It prioritizes approachability and smooth text rhythm, adding just enough character through terminals and modulation to avoid a sterile, purely constructed feel.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and stable, while lowercase details (ear shapes, hooks, and tapered endings) add personality in text. Numerals follow the same soft, rounded construction, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric settings. Spacing appears comfortable, producing an even, calm color in paragraph-sized samples.
