A rounded geometric sans with smooth, even stroke weight and softly squared terminals. The forms lean on circular and elliptical construction, producing consistent bowls and clean joins, while counters stay open and uncluttered. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and stable, and the lowercase keeps a simple, contemporary build with clear separation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same rounded logic, with simple, legible silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited to user interfaces and product design where clean, predictable letterforms and open counters help quick recognition. It also works for headings, wayfinding, and contemporary brand systems that want a rounded geometric voice without overt stylization.
The overall tone is modern and calm, balancing a technical cleanliness with approachable rounded shapes. It reads as neutral and utilitarian rather than expressive, making it feel dependable and contemporary without appearing cold.
The font appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that emphasizes geometric construction and smooth, rounded details for clear everyday readability across digital and environmental contexts.
The design maintains a steady rhythm in text, with rounded corners and open internal spaces supporting clarity at display and UI sizes. Curved letters and circular figures (like O and 0) appear especially prominent, reinforcing the geometric character.
