A clean sans with softly rounded terminals and gently modulated strokes. Letterforms lean toward simple, geometric construction—round counters in forms like O and 0, and smooth, even curves throughout—while keeping a human, slightly relaxed feel in details such as the lowercase a and the open, airy shapes. The rhythm is steady and legible, with ample internal space and clear separation between strokes; overall proportions feel expansive horizontally, giving words a broad, uncompressed footprint.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product copy where clarity and a soft, modern voice are needed. The broad proportions and open shapes also suit headlines and short editorial settings, and it can support approachable brand systems that prioritize cleanliness and legibility.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, with a mild warmth created by the rounded ends and open, easy shapes. It reads as calm and friendly rather than technical or severe, making it suitable for content that wants clarity without looking rigid.
The design appears intended to balance geometric simplicity with a welcoming, humanized finish. It emphasizes clear reading at a range of sizes while giving layouts a wide, contemporary presence and a gentle, non-harsh texture.
Numerals follow the same rounded, open construction as the letters, with a straightforward, readable set (notably a simple 1 and a smoothly curved 2 and 3). Curves and diagonals maintain consistent visual weight, and the overall texture in paragraphs stays even without spiky joins or sharp corners.
