A compact, rounded sans with largely uniform stroke weight and softly curved terminals. Proportions are narrow and vertically oriented, with simple, geometric construction in the bowls and counters and only mild modulation coming from angled joins. Lowercase forms stay straightforward and readable, with a single-storey a and g, a rounded e with an open aperture, and short, sturdy ascenders/descenders that keep lines tight. Numerals follow the same plainspoken geometry, mixing circular forms with angled cuts for a crisp, contemporary texture.
Works well for user-interface labels, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact sans with warmth. The narrow proportions make it useful for posters, signage, and editorial subheads where space is limited but clarity is still important.
The overall tone feels friendly and contemporary, with a gentle informality created by the rounded shapes and slightly playful angles. It reads as approachable rather than strictly corporate, giving headlines and short text a light, easygoing voice without looking novelty-driven.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, space-saving sans with rounded, geometric character that stays legible at a range of sizes. It aims to feel modern and approachable, offering a practical alternative to sharper neo-grotesques while maintaining a tidy, controlled rhythm.
Spacing appears even and economical, producing a dense, efficient rhythm that suits narrow settings. The design balances round bowls (C, O, Q) with decisive diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y), which adds energy while keeping the silhouette clean.
