This is a compact, clean sans with softly rounded bowls and modestly squared terminals that give it a slightly utilitarian, print-like character. Strokes are even and steady, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is tidy and controlled. Proportions are on the condensed side, with relatively tall ascenders/descenders and open counters that help maintain clarity in text.
Works well for UI text, app and web interfaces, and informational layouts where horizontal economy matters. It also suits editorial captions, manuals, and packaging/label copy that benefits from a clear, compact sans with a slightly warm tone. The straightforward numerals make it appropriate for forms, tables, and lightweight data presentation.
The tone is friendly and understated, with a lightly vintage, bookish calm rather than a sharp corporate feel. It reads as approachable and human, with just enough quirks to feel warm without becoming playful or novelty-driven.
The design appears aimed at dependable, space-efficient reading and labeling, balancing neutrality with gentle personality. Its restrained shapes and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on legibility in continuous text and dense UI or editorial settings.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms and a clear, rounded ‘o’-like structure across bowls, contributing to a smooth texture in paragraphs. The figures are plain and readable, with a distinct, simple ‘1’ and rounded ‘0’, supporting utilitarian typesetting.
