A monoline sans with rounded terminals and softly squared corners throughout, combining circular bowls with gently flattened joins. Curves stay smooth and even, while stems and horizontals maintain consistent thickness and crisp edges. The lowercase shows open apertures and straightforward construction, with simple, readable forms and modest detailing. Numerals follow the same rounded, geometric logic, with clear counters and a tidy, uniform rhythm across the set.
Works well for interfaces and product typography where clarity and a soft, modern personality are needed. Its open shapes and even stroke weight also suit editorial layouts, wayfinding, and presentation decks, and it can support approachable branding that benefits from a clean, rounded look.
The overall tone is calm, approachable, and contemporary, with a light, uncluttered voice. Rounded endings and open shapes keep it friendly and non-technical, while the restrained geometry maintains a polished, modern feel.
Likely designed as a versatile everyday sans that prioritizes legibility and a gentle, contemporary character. The consistent stroke behavior and rounded terminals suggest an intention to stay neutral in tone while remaining warm and easy to read in continuous text.
Capitals feel clean and slightly spacious, with broad, circular forms in letters like C, G, and O, and gently rounded angles in A, V, W, and Y. The dot shapes are simple and round, and punctuation in the sample text reads unobtrusively, reinforcing a clear, neutral texture in paragraphs.
