A rounded geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and clean, open counters. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and smooth joins, while terminals are mostly straight-cut and crisp, producing a tidy silhouette. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and compact, with broad proportions and stable verticals; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey rhythm with generous apertures and simple constructions. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with clear shapes and consistent weight that holds up at display sizes.
Well-suited to brand identities, headlines, and short-to-medium text where clarity and solidity are needed. The geometric construction and even color also make it a good fit for interface labels, wayfinding, and product/packaging applications that benefit from a contemporary, approachable sans.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense presence. It reads as contemporary and functional rather than expressive or decorative, making it feel dependable and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans that feels friendly through rounded geometry while maintaining strong legibility and a consistent typographic color for practical, everyday use.
Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting a steady texture in lines of text. Distinctive diagonals (e.g., in K, V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn against the otherwise rounded vocabulary, adding snap and clarity.
