A monoline sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and generally open apertures. Strokes are even and calm, with rounded joins and terminals that keep shapes smooth rather than sharp. Proportions are balanced and readable: capitals are straightforward and geometric, while lowercase forms stay simple and uncluttered, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a gentle, rounded “e”. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with clear, unembellished shapes and generous interior counters.
Well suited to interfaces and product typography where consistent, even strokes and open forms support legibility. It also works in editorial settings and brand systems that want a modern, friendly neutrality, and it can scale to signage where its simple geometry stays clear at distance.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a technical cleanliness with subtle softness from the rounded geometry. It feels neutral and understated, aiming for clarity without looking rigid or cold.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that balances geometric structure with softened curves for a more approachable feel. Its restrained details and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on functional readability across everyday text and display use.
Spacing and rhythm read even in paragraph text, with consistent stroke economy and little visual noise. The rounded-rectangle influence is most apparent in bowls and curved letters, giving the design a cohesive, slightly softened geometric character.
