A rounded, humanist sans with smooth, low-contrast strokes and gently modulated curves. Many terminals are softly angled or subtly flared rather than perfectly horizontal, giving the outlines a lightly hand-shaped feel. Counters are roomy and mostly open, with circular letters leaning toward oval proportions and a steady, readable rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short-shouldered “r”, and generally compact joins that keep word shapes clear without looking rigid.
Performs well for contemporary branding and packaging where a warm, personable voice is helpful. It also suits UI labels, product copy, and short-to-medium editorial text thanks to its open forms and steady spacing. In larger sizes, the softened terminals and rounded geometry give headlines a friendly, modern character.
The overall tone is friendly and informal while remaining clean enough for everyday interface and editorial use. Slightly uneven, softened details add warmth and approachability, avoiding the cool neutrality of more geometric sans styles.
Likely designed to be an all-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity while introducing subtle humanist irregularities for warmth. The aim appears to be a modern, approachable texture that stays versatile across both display and text settings.
Round letters like O/Q/0 read as smooth ovals, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) keep a sturdy, balanced stance without feeling sharp. Numerals are straightforward and legible, with simple construction and consistent stroke behavior that matches the text forms.
