A geometric sans with squarish, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently even stroke widths. The letterforms favor broad proportions and a steady, modular rhythm, with compact curves, flat terminals, and minimal modulation. Counters are open and simplified, and the overall texture reads crisp and orderly, staying legible at smaller sizes thanks to clear apertures and straightforward joins.
Well-suited to coding environments, console or terminal styling, and UI labeling where alignment and consistent character widths matter. It also performs well in dashboards, tables, and technical documentation that benefit from a disciplined, engineered texture.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, evoking interfaces, tooling, and engineered systems more than editorial personality. Its rounded geometry keeps the feel approachable rather than severe, while the strict spacing and repeatable shapes add a distinctly technical, systemlike character.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, highly systematic workhorse sans with a softened geometric voice—balancing strict modularity for structured layouts with rounded forms for a more approachable on-screen presence.
Many curves resolve into softened corners rather than fully circular bowls, creating a superelliptic, rounded-square feel across both letters and numerals. The sample text shows consistent color and predictable spacing, giving lines a stable, grid-friendly cadence.
