A heavy, block-built sans with monoline strokes and a strongly squared construction. Curves are tightened into near-circular bowls with flattened joins, while many terminals resolve as straight cuts that emphasize a mechanical, machined feel. Proportions are broad and steady, with generous internal space on round letters but more compact apertures on forms like S and e, creating a confident, dense texture in text. Figures are sturdy and highly regular, with a slashed zero for quick differentiation.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, terminals, and other screen contexts where a strong, steady texture helps scanning. The durable shapes and clear numerals also fit signage, packaging callouts, and bold headers where a technical, no-nonsense voice is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and technical, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and industrial signage. Its robust shapes and strict rhythm also lend a slight retro-computing or typewriter-adjacent character, reading pragmatic rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly consistent reading texture with an engineered feel—prioritizing clarity, repetition, and strong silhouettes for functional typography in technical or informational settings.
The face maintains a consistent, grid-like rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines of text a firm baseline and predictable spacing. The lowercase includes simple, workmanlike forms with minimal modulation, keeping emphasis on clarity and uniformity rather than calligraphic nuance.
