A clean sans with softly rounded curves and a steady, even stroke. Counters are open and generously proportioned, giving letters a breathable texture, while joins and terminals stay simple and unadorned. Curved forms (C, O, S, 0) read smoothly and circularly, and straight-sided glyphs keep a calm, consistent rhythm; the overall set feels slightly spacious, with clear separation between strokes and interior space.
It works well for UI and web typography, where open shapes and even color help readability across sizes. The straightforward construction also suits presentations, wayfinding/signage, and general editorial use that needs a modern, unobtrusive voice.
The tone is neutral and contemporary, leaning friendly rather than stark due to the rounded shaping and open counters. It feels practical and approachable, suited to interfaces and everyday communication where clarity matters more than stylistic statement.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose sans focused on clarity and consistency, combining soft geometric roundness with a practical, utilitarian structure for reliable reading in continuous text and interface contexts.
Lowercase forms appear straightforward and highly legible, with single-storey shapes where expected (notably the ‘a’), and punctuation/dot elements that are clean and unobtrusive. Numerals are simple and readable at a glance, matching the alphabet’s restrained geometry.
