A clean, modular sans with uniform stroke thickness and generous horizontal proportions. Forms are built from straight segments and broad curves, with squared terminals that often finish in subtly rounded corners. Counters are open and fairly large, and circular characters (O, o, 0, 8, 9) read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. The overall rhythm is even and grid-like, keeping consistent widths and spacing across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well where consistent alignment and predictable spacing are valuable, such as interface labels, tables, dashboards, and code or terminal-style settings. It also suits utilitarian branding applications—labels, packaging, and wayfinding—where clear, sturdy letterforms need to hold up at a range of sizes.
The tone is pragmatic and machine-adjacent, evoking labeling, terminals, and early digital or industrial typography. Its steady cadence and uncluttered construction feel matter-of-fact, with a slight retro-tech flavor rather than a warm, humanist one.
The design appears intended to deliver straightforward readability with a systematic, grid-driven construction. It emphasizes uniformity and character differentiation over expressive stroke contrast, aiming for dependable performance in informational and technical contexts.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a,” a compact, open “e,” and numerals that prioritize clarity—especially the simple, straight “1” and the angular “4” and “7.” The lowercase shows restrained descenders and a stable baseline presence, reinforcing a schematic, engineered impression.
