A clean, monolinear sans with a strongly squared skeleton and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a compact, superelliptical feel. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt or gently rounded rather than tapered. Overall proportions read straightforward and engineered, with tall, narrow forms and consistent spacing that supports a strict, grid-like rhythm in text.
Well suited to code editors, command-line or terminal-style UI, and any layout that benefits from strict alignment such as tables, dashboards, and forms. It also works for labels, navigation, and technical documentation where a compact, consistent text rhythm improves scanning.
The tone is utilitarian and technical, with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its rounded-square geometry feels functional and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and restraint rather than warmth or ornament. The overall impression is orderly and mechanical, suited to systems and interfaces where consistency matters.
The font appears designed to deliver a pragmatic, screen-friendly voice built on rounded-rectangular forms. Its consistent construction prioritizes alignment, repeatable patterns, and legibility in structured layouts, evoking the aesthetics of system typography and technical readouts.
The design emphasizes simplified shapes and consistent joins, producing crisp silhouettes at display sizes and a disciplined texture in paragraphs. Rounded corners keep the heavy, boxy construction from feeling harsh, while open apertures help letters remain distinct in continuous text.
