This typeface is built from compact, squared-round forms with rounded-rectangle counters and softly chamfered joins. Strokes stay consistent and sturdy, producing a steady typographic color and a highly regular rhythm. The uppercase is broad and simplified, with geometric curves in C/G/O/Q and blunt terminals throughout; diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are straight and firm. Lowercase maintains a functional, minimal construction with single-storey a and g, a rounded-shoulder r, and a simple, open e. Figures are clear and structured, including a slashed zero, and punctuation/dots appear round and robust.
Well suited to code editors, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, dashboards, and specs. It also works for compact headings, captions, and utilitarian branding where a clean, engineered tone is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and matter-of-fact, with a subtle retro computing and engineered sensibility. Its squared-round geometry reads as modern and efficient rather than expressive, prioritizing clarity and consistency.
The design appears intended for predictable spacing and unambiguous character shapes, combining a practical sans structure with rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive but disciplined voice.
Roundness is expressed more as superellipse-like rectangles than perfect circles, giving the face a distinctive “softly squared” silhouette. Many forms favor closed, solid shapes and short apertures, which reinforces a compact, durable look at display and UI sizes.
