A compact, monoline sans with generously rounded corners and terminals throughout. Strokes stay even in thickness, with smooth joins and simplified construction that keeps counters open despite the narrow proportions. Curves are drawn with a soft, squared-off roundness (seen in C, G, S, and numerals), while verticals and horizontals maintain a tidy, modular rhythm. Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible; lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a gently curved y, reinforcing a simplified, contemporary build.
It works well where space is tight and clarity is needed, such as UI labels, menus, wayfinding, and compact signage. The rounded construction also suits packaging, posters, and short headlines that benefit from a softer, more approachable sans presence.
The overall tone is friendly and casual without becoming novelty. Rounded endings and compact proportions give it an approachable, slightly playful voice that still reads as clean and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, highly consistent sans with softened terminals for warmth and everyday readability. Its simplified letterforms and even rhythm suggest a focus on versatile display-to-text use in modern interfaces and branding.
The font’s narrow set and consistent stroke treatment create a uniform texture in paragraphs, with clear differentiation in key shapes like I/l/1 and O/0 in the provided samples. Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic, matching the letters closely for cohesive UI-style typography.
