A compact, monospaced sans with sturdy strokes and a largely geometric construction. Curves are rounded but slightly squared at joins, giving letters a blocky, engineered feel without sharpness. Counters are open and clear, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is even and grid-friendly. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey “a,” a simple “g,” and a compact, hooked “j,” while figures are broad and stable for consistent alignment.
Well suited to environments where column alignment and predictable spacing matter, such as coding interfaces, terminal-style displays, configuration screens, and tabular readouts. It also works for compact UI labels and functional documentation where an even, mechanical texture is preferred over typographic flourish.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle industrial character that feels at home in code-like settings. Its consistent spacing and restrained shapes read as systematic and dependable rather than expressive or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver consistent, grid-based readability with a neutral voice, emphasizing systematic proportions and straightforward letterforms. It prioritizes dependable repetition and clear counters to stay legible in dense, information-heavy settings.
Several glyphs show purposeful simplification and strong verticals, emphasizing clarity at a glance. Round letters like O/C/G retain generous counters, while diagonals in K/V/W/X are firm and slightly squared, reinforcing the font’s constructed, tool-like aesthetic.
