A compact, heavy monospaced sans with geometric construction and softened, squarish curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with large counters and deliberately simplified joins that keep forms sturdy at small sizes. Corners are broadly rounded rather than sharp, and several letters show subtle interior notches or cut-ins that improve separation where strokes meet. Overall spacing is rigid and even, producing a strong vertical rhythm and a consistent, modular texture across lines.
Works well for terminals, code-adjacent UI, and technical dashboards where a strong monospaced grid is desirable. Its weight and compact proportions also suit labels, packaging, and short headlines that need high impact and clear character separation. Best in display and interface contexts rather than long-form reading.
The tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, equipment-label flavor. Its bold, blocky presence feels confident and no-nonsense, leaning technical rather than friendly despite the rounded shaping. The repeated monospaced rhythm adds a coded, system-oriented character.
Designed to deliver a robust monospaced voice with geometric, rounded-rectangle anatomy and high visual authority. The simplified shapes, broad rounding, and occasional cut-ins suggest an emphasis on legibility under constrained spacing and on-screen or industrial-style applications.
Round letters like O/C/G are more superelliptical than circular, while straight-sided forms (E/F/L/T) emphasize the font’s grid-based logic. The numerals and punctuation match the same chunky proportions, helping mixed text keep an even color. The overall silhouette stays squat and stable, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy.
