A monoline sans with rounded construction and smooth, circular curves. Strokes end in softly rounded terminals, giving counters and joints a gentle, polished feel. Uppercase forms are simple and airy with generous interior space, while lowercase shapes stay compact and readable, with open apertures and uncomplicated joins. Numerals follow the same rounded, even-stroke logic, producing a consistent rhythm across mixed text and figures.
It works well for UI labels, product and brand wordmarks, and short-to-medium editorial text where a clean but personable voice is desired. The rounded, open forms also suit wayfinding and signage, and the consistent numerals make it practical for dashboards, pricing, and simple data readouts.
The overall tone is calm and contemporary, with a friendly softness that avoids sharpness or aggression. Its rounded details feel approachable and informal-leaning while still remaining tidy and neutral enough for general interface and brand use.
The font appears designed to provide a versatile, contemporary sans that reads clearly while projecting a softer, more human-friendly character through rounded terminals and simple geometric forms.
The design relies on clear geometry and consistent stroke behavior, which helps maintain even texture in paragraphs. The sample text shows steady spacing and a smooth reading flow, with round letters (like o/e) and open shapes (like c/s) carrying much of the visual identity.
