A clean sans with rounded, smoothly drawn curves and largely uniform stroke weight. Proportions run on the roomy side, with generous internal counters and open apertures that keep letters clear at text sizes. Terminals are mostly straight-cut with subtly softened joins, while curves are continuous and even, giving round letters a stable, elliptical feel. Uppercase forms read simple and geometric, and the lowercase follows a contemporary, humanist-leaning construction with straightforward bowls, stems, and shoulders. Numerals are similarly open and rounded, matching the letterforms in color and rhythm.
This font suits UI and product text, long-form reading, and general-purpose brand systems where consistent legibility is key. The open forms and steady rhythm also make it a solid choice for wayfinding, labels, and presentation decks where clean clarity is needed at varying sizes.
The overall tone is calm, contemporary, and approachable, prioritizing clarity over personality. Its smooth curves and open spacing give it a friendly, non-technical feel while still remaining neutral enough for everyday interface and editorial use.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse sans: smooth, open, and highly legible, with enough warmth in the curves to feel approachable without becoming expressive or stylized.
Across the set, counters stay consistently large and shapes avoid tight pinches, helping maintain an even texture in paragraphs. The mix of round and straight elements feels balanced, with no ornamental detailing competing with readability.
