A clean sans with rounded construction and smooth, monoline strokes. Curves are close to circular with gently softened joins and terminals, giving bowls and counters an open, even feel. Proportions run slightly broad with generous interior space, and the overall rhythm is steady and uncluttered; round characters (O, C, G, e) read particularly crisp, while diagonals and arms maintain consistent stroke behavior without sharp modulation.
It performs well in user interfaces and product experiences where clarity at small-to-medium sizes matters, and it scales nicely for headings and signage thanks to its open counters and broad, rounded shapes. Its neutral-modern character also suits branding systems, packaging, and editorial sidebars where a clean, friendly sans is desired.
The tone is modern and approachable, with a calm, hygienic clarity. Rounded forms and softened endings keep it from feeling clinical, lending a friendly, contemporary voice suited to everyday interface and brand communication.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes legibility and smooth geometry, balancing a neutral skeleton with softened details for a more welcoming texture in continuous text.
Figures are simple and highly legible, with smooth curves and minimal detailing. The lowercase shows clear, open shapes and a straightforward, readable texture in paragraph settings, maintaining an even color without looking dense.
