A clean monospaced sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, even curves. Strokes maintain consistent thickness with minimal modulation, producing a steady color in text. Terminals are mostly straight and squared, while round letters stay open and simple, giving counters a clear, unembellished shape. Uppercase forms are sturdy and straightforward; lowercase keeps a single-storey a and g, with a plain, functional rhythm. Figures are simple and legible, with a slashed zero in the sample set to help distinguish it from O.
Well suited to source code, terminal output, UI labels, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, forms, and logs. It can also serve as a neutral workhorse for technical documentation where predictable spacing and clear letterforms are priorities.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a subtle technical character typical of coding and tabular typography. Its restrained geometry and consistent spacing feel orderly and modern rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable monospaced sans for environments where clarity, alignment, and quick character recognition matter. Its simplified shapes and consistent rhythm prioritize function and readability over stylistic flourish.
In continuous text the uniform character widths create a strong vertical cadence, and the open apertures help maintain clarity at smaller sizes. The punctuation and dots appear compact and crisp, reinforcing the font’s disciplined, grid-friendly texture.
