A heavy, monospaced sans with compact proportions and generously rounded corners. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark text color and an even typographic rhythm. Curves are simplified into smooth, almost pill-shaped joins and terminals, while counters remain open enough for clarity at display and medium text sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, squared-off footprint, reinforcing a strictly aligned, grid-friendly texture.
Well suited to interfaces where strict character alignment matters, such as terminals, coding environments, and tabular data. The robust shapes also work for labels, packaging callouts, and concise signage where a sturdy, no-nonsense voice is desirable. In longer passages it will feel assertive, so it’s best for short text, UI strings, and headings rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, with a soft-edged, approachable finish that keeps it from feeling harsh. Its steady cadence and blocky silhouettes evoke classic machinery labeling and mid-century computing, giving it a subtle retro-technical character without becoming decorative.
Designed to deliver a dependable monospaced texture with softened geometry, balancing technical utility with rounded, accessible forms. The consistent weight and simplified curves suggest an emphasis on clarity, repeatability, and strong presence in grid-based layouts.
Distinctive details include single-storey lowercase forms, a square i/j tittle, and broadly rounded terminals that make punctuation and small shapes read as solid blocks. The consistently wide set and strong sidebearings create a pronounced, regular beat that emphasizes alignment and tabular structure.
