A monospaced sans with sturdy, even strokes and a compact, workmanlike rhythm. Forms lean on simple geometry—round counters paired with straight terminals—creating a crisp, consistent texture across lines. Corners read slightly softened rather than razor-sharp, while apertures in letters like C, S, and e stay fairly open for clarity. Lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a straightforward t with a short crossbar, and squarish punctuation details such as the i/j dots. Numerals are plain and readable, with a notably oval 0 that contains an internal counter shape to distinguish it at a glance.
Well-suited to interfaces where alignment matters, such as code editors, terminals, console output, and tabular data. Its clear shapes and distinct numerals also fit technical documentation, configuration screens, status readouts, and utilitarian labeling where steady rhythm and quick scanning are priorities.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro computing feel typical of monospaced grotesque styles. It communicates clarity, restraint, and a mildly industrial sensibility rather than elegance or warmth.
Designed to provide a dependable monospaced reading experience with uncomplicated, highly legible letterforms and strong spacing discipline. The overall intent appears to be functional clarity for structured text, with small details (like the differentiated 0) aimed at reducing ambiguity in everyday use.
The consistent character width and generous sidebearings produce an orderly columnar feel, especially in mixed-case text and numeric strings. Capitals appear broad and stable, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and symmetrical, reinforcing a technical, engineered impression.
