A compact, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squared counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay even and sturdy, producing dark, stable letterforms with minimal modulation. Curves in C, G, O, and Q feel more like superelliptical squarish rounds than true circles, while straight stems and crossbars remain crisp and orthogonal. Terminals are consistently blunt and slightly rounded, and the overall rhythm is tight and orderly, with clear differentiation in similar shapes (e.g., I/l/1 and 0/O) supported by simple, functional detailing.
It works especially well anywhere strict alignment and fast scanning matter: code editors, terminal-style interfaces, device UI, dashboards, tables, labels, and technical documentation. The sturdy, compact forms also make it suitable for captions, UI buttons, and dense settings where a clean, consistent grid rhythm is desirable.
The font conveys a pragmatic, engineered tone—precise, dependable, and a bit retro in the way it echoes terminal and instrument labeling. Its rounded corners soften the severity of the grid-based construction, keeping the voice approachable while still feeling technical and disciplined.
The design appears aimed at a functional, screen-forward aesthetic that prioritizes consistency and legibility within a strict grid. By combining squared construction with rounded corners, it balances a technical, system-like feel with friendlier contours for everyday interface typography.
The lowercase shows an open, readable structure with single-storey forms and straightforward joins, reinforcing clarity at small sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, with a particularly squared, sign-like presence that suits tabular settings and aligned layouts.
