A clean, monoline sans with gently rounded geometry and softly treated terminals. Curves are smooth and circular, with open counters and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are simple and legible, while the lowercase shows humanist touches—single-storey a and g, a curved-shoulder r, and a slightly lively, natural drawing that keeps the texture from feeling rigid. Numerals are clear and straightforward, matching the letterforms in stroke weight and overall softness.
This face suits user interfaces and product typography where clarity and a gentle tone are needed, and it also works well for branding systems that want a modern, friendly presence. Its even texture and open forms make it a dependable choice for editorial subheads and short paragraphs, while the clean numerals support wayfinding, signage, and data-adjacent labels.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing neutrality with a subtle friendliness from the rounded shapes and relaxed proportions. It reads as calm and functional rather than overtly stylized, making it feel contemporary without becoming cold or technical.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, contemporary sans that prioritizes everyday legibility while adding warmth through rounded construction and humanist lowercase choices. It aims to stay neutral enough for broad use while remaining visibly personable in continuous text.
The sample text suggests comfortable readability at text sizes thanks to open apertures, clear differentiation of forms, and a consistent stroke with minimal visual noise. The design’s softness comes more from rounded joins and terminals than from exaggerated curves, keeping the voice versatile.
