A sturdy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a generously wide set. Curves are clean and near-circular in counters like O, Q, and 0, while terminals tend to finish bluntly, giving the forms a crisp, engineered feel. The lowercase is compact and straightforward with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is even and consistent across the alphabet and figures. Details like the square i/j dots and the simple, open apertures reinforce a pragmatic, no-nonsense construction.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment and predictable spacing, such as code, technical documentation, UI labels, tables, and form fields. It also works well for compact captions and informational graphics where clarity and quick scanning matter.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a slightly retro, industrial flavor reminiscent of system, UI, or terminal typography. Its uniformity and blunt finishing convey clarity and reliability rather than expressiveness.
Likely intended as a neutral, workhorse face focused on consistent rhythm and unambiguous character shapes for technical and interface-driven typography. The design prioritizes straightforward geometry and dependable legibility over stylistic contrast.
Figures are simple and highly legible, with a slashed zero that helps avoid ambiguity in dense settings. The sample text shows consistent spacing and stable color across lines, supporting long runs of text where predictability is important.
