A clean sans with rounded, gently humanist construction and an even, steady rhythm. Strokes are uniform and smooth, with soft, slightly tapered terminals rather than sharp cuts. Counters are open and generously shaped, helping letters stay clear at smaller sizes, while the curves (C, G, O, S) read as circular and balanced. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a compact shoulder on “r,” and overall moderate proportions that keep word shapes calm and consistent. Numerals follow the same rounded logic, with simple, readable forms and minimal fuss.
Well-suited to interface and product typography where clarity and a calm texture are important. Its rounded, open shapes also work nicely for general branding, wayfinding, and editorial settings that need an accessible, modern sans without a stark or overly industrial feel.
The overall tone is neutral and contemporary with a friendly edge. Rounded curves and soft endings reduce severity, making the voice feel approachable and practical rather than formal or technical.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a versatile, general-purpose sans that prioritizes legibility and an inviting tone. By pairing circular curves with restrained humanist details, it aims to perform reliably across both display and extended text settings.
The design emphasizes clarity through open apertures and uncomplicated joins, producing smooth text color in paragraphs and a stable, understated presence in headlines. Uppercase forms feel straightforward and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces subtle humanist warmth for comfortable reading.
