A crisp sans with squared-round geometry and tightly controlled curves, where round characters (C, O, Q, 0) read like softened rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes stay even and straight segments dominate, producing firm shoulders, flat terminals, and a consistent, grid-friendly rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Proportions feel compact and efficient, with clear counters and open apertures that keep letterforms distinct at text sizes.
Well-suited to environments that benefit from strict alignment and predictable spacing, such as code editors, terminal-style UI, and data-heavy layouts like tables, logs, and dashboards. Its clean, squared-round shapes also work well for labels, system settings, and compact UI text where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a subtle retro-tech flavor from its rounded-rectangle construction. It feels orderly and engineered—more about clarity and systematized rhythm than personality or expressiveness.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable legibility within a rigid typographic grid, emphasizing consistency and easy character recognition over calligraphic nuance. Its rounded-rectangle DNA suggests a deliberate nod to screen-first, system-oriented typography while staying neutral enough for everyday interface use.
Lowercase forms maintain a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, and punctuation and spacing in the sample text reinforce a disciplined, mechanical cadence. The figures are simple and sturdy, matching the alphabet’s squared-round logic and maintaining clear differentiation between similar shapes.
