A heavy, monospaced sans with rounded terminals and softly squared curves. The letterforms are built from broad strokes with minimal modulation, giving a sturdy, even color across lines. Many shapes show gentle corner rounding and slightly bowed strokes, while the overall silhouette leans subtly forward. Counters are generous and open for a mono design, with simple, highly regular construction that keeps spacing consistent from glyph to glyph.
Works well where fixed-width alignment is useful, such as UI labels, tables, coding environments, and technical readouts. The bold, rounded construction also suits packaging, signage, and poster-style headlines where a sturdy, informal mono voice is desirable.
The tone is practical and unpretentious, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. Its forward-leaning stance and chunky rhythm evoke a retro, tool-like feel—suggesting stamped labeling, equipment marks, or terminal-era display without looking harsh or mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver a robust monospaced reading experience with a softer, more human feel than strictly geometric or rigid monos. The design prioritizes consistency, clarity, and a distinctive, slightly retro texture suitable for both technical and graphic applications.
The lowercase features single-storey forms and straightforward joins, reinforcing an approachable, simplified texture. Numerals follow the same rounded, blocky logic, maintaining strong consistency for mixed alphanumeric strings.
