A clean monospaced sans with sturdy, even strokes and a generously spaced rhythm. Forms lean geometric with round bowls and straightforward joins, avoiding calligraphic modulation. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable; lowercase shows simple constructions with single-storey forms and clear, open counters. Terminals are mostly blunt and orthogonal, giving letters a crisp, engineered look that remains legible at smaller sizes.
Well suited to code editors, terminal-style interfaces, and any setting where fixed-width alignment matters, such as tables, logs, data readouts, and form fields. It also works for technical documentation, labels, and compact captions where consistent spacing and quick character recognition are priorities.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, with a slightly retro computer/terminal flavor. Its consistency and lack of ornament read as functional and direct, prioritizing clarity over personality.
Designed to provide dependable monospaced clarity with simple geometric letterforms and a steady typographic color. The emphasis appears to be on predictable spacing, robust shapes, and straightforward readability in functional text environments.
Round characters like O/Q/0 stay open and clean, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a strict grid-fit feel. Numerals are clear and uncomplicated, and the set maintains a uniform texture across mixed case and figures in running text.
