A sturdy, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and a square-shouldered, slightly rounded construction. Letterforms sit on a firm baseline with consistent widths and generous internal counters, producing an even, grid-like rhythm across text. Curves are built from broad arcs rather than delicate modulation, while terminals read as cleanly cut and often squared, giving the design a practical, engineered feel. Lowercase forms are simple and open, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a prominent dot on “i/j,” reinforcing clarity at smaller sizes.
Well-suited for UI labels, dashboards, and settings where regular spacing and clear character recognition matter. It also fits technical documentation, tables, and short-form display lines such as headings, signage, packaging callouts, and system-like branding moments where a functional, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and technical, evoking labeling, terminals, and no-nonsense interface typography. Its steady cadence and chunky shapes suggest reliability and straightforward communication, with a faint retro-computing flavor.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, highly readable sans that maintains consistent spacing and a disciplined rhythm. Its simplified geometry and sturdy weight suggest a focus on clarity in compact, information-forward typography rather than expressive flourish.
Capitals are compact and assertive, and the numerals share the same robust, uniform drawing for consistent appearance in tabular or code-adjacent settings. The forms favor legibility over personality, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped characters through simple structural cues.
