A rounded, monoline sans with soft terminals and gently squared curves that keep the forms crisp while still feeling smooth. Proportions are compact and neatly controlled, with generous apertures and simple, highly legible shapes throughout. The lowercase shows a single‑storey “a” and “g,” short-to-medium ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height, and a consistent stroke thickness that produces an even texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded construction, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped characters and a tidy, contemporary rhythm.
Well-suited to user interfaces and product experiences where clarity at small sizes matters, as well as signage and wayfinding thanks to its open shapes and straightforward forms. Its friendly construction also fits packaging, light editorial use, and modern brand systems that want a soft, accessible sans voice.
The overall tone is friendly and calm, with a contemporary, unobtrusive voice. Rounded endings and open counters soften the feel, making it read as approachable rather than technical or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, contemporary sans for everyday communication, pairing high legibility with rounded terminals to create a warmer, more human tone. It prioritizes consistency and an even text texture over expressive contrast or calligraphic detail.
Curves tend to resolve into subtly flattened segments, giving the letterforms a slightly geometric, engineered smoothness. Spacing appears balanced and regular, helping paragraphs maintain a clean, steady color without calling attention to individual glyph quirks.
