A monoline sans with a wide, even stance and clearly enforced fixed-width rhythm. Strokes are uniform with low contrast, and terminals are predominantly squared off with subtly rounded corners that keep the texture from feeling harsh. The drawing leans geometric and slightly boxy: round letters like C, O, and S are built from broad curves with flattened verticals, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) read crisp and stable. Counters are generous and apertures stay relatively open, helping maintain clarity at text sizes.
Well suited to code, command-line or terminal-style screens, UI labels, and any setting where alignment matters—tables, forms, logs, and data-heavy layouts. It also works for headings that benefit from a structured, technical feel without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is practical and technical, with a faint retro-computing flavor. Its consistent spacing and straightforward construction give it an orderly, utilitarian presence that feels at home in tools, interfaces, and structured information.
The font appears designed to deliver clear, uniform letterforms within a fixed-width framework, optimizing for alignment and steady readability. Its slightly softened corners suggest an attempt to balance a strict grid with a more approachable on-screen texture.
The sample text shows steady color and predictable word shapes, with punctuation and numerals matching the same disciplined, grid-friendly logic. The design prioritizes consistency and legibility over expressive modulation, producing a calm, system-like texture in paragraphs and code-like settings.
