A clean, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle curves and subtly softened corners throughout. Strokes are even and steady, with broadly geometric construction in rounds like C, G, O, and Q, and straightforward, minimally modulated joins. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary forms (single-storey a and g), with open apertures and clear counters that keep text from clogging at larger paragraph sizes. Numerals are plain and sturdy, with a simple 1 and generously rounded bowls in 6, 8, and 9, matching the typeface’s smooth, consistent rhythm.
Works well for UI labels, dashboards, and general product typography where clarity and consistency are priorities. The rounded geometric shapes also suit contemporary branding, wayfinding, and presentation graphics, especially when a clean but approachable voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly smoothness coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as neutral and utilitarian rather than expressive, suitable for interfaces and brand systems that want to feel approachable without becoming informal.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, versatile sans optimized for clear everyday reading, with superelliptical rounds to add softness and cohesion. Its restrained construction and uniform stroke behavior suggest a focus on dependable legibility across headlines and running text.
Capitals are tall and stable with broad, even spacing, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep crisp, straight energy against the softer curves. The family’s rounded construction is especially noticeable in terminals and in the superelliptical shaping of bowls, which gives lines of text a calm, contemporary texture.
