A clean sans with gently rounded curves and slightly humanist shaping. Strokes are fairly even with subtle contrast, and many terminals finish with softened, almost tapered cuts rather than hard geometric endings. Uppercase forms are straightforward and stable, while lowercase shows open apertures and round counters that keep words readable at text sizes. The figures are simple and contemporary, with clear differentiation between similar forms and a consistent, calm texture across lines.
Works well for UI and product text where clarity and a consistent line texture are important. The open lowercase and straightforward capitals also suit editorial layouts, short-form marketing copy, and general-purpose signage where fast recognition matters.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary, aiming for approachability rather than strict geometry. Its soft curves and open forms give it a friendly, utilitarian voice that feels at home in everyday interface and editorial settings.
Designed to be a dependable, general-purpose sans that balances modern simplicity with subtle warmth. The intent appears to prioritize legibility and an unobtrusive typographic color, while adding slight humanist softness to avoid a sterile, purely geometric feel.
Letterforms maintain a steady rhythm with moderate spacing and smooth curve transitions. Round letters (such as O/C/e) feel slightly softened rather than perfectly circular, contributing to an easy, human feel without becoming informal or quirky.
