A monospaced sans with sturdy, largely uniform strokes and compact proportions. Letterforms are built from straightforward verticals and horizontals with simple, rounded curves, producing a boxy rhythm typical of fixed-width designs. Counters are open and clear, terminals are clean and blunt, and curves (as in C, G, O, and S) stay controlled rather than calligraphic. The overall spacing is consistent cell-to-cell, with a stable baseline, tall caps, and straightforward numerals that read cleanly in text.
Well-suited to code editors, terminal interfaces, and any setting that benefits from fixed-width alignment such as tables, logs, forms, and configuration screens. It also works for UI labels and headings where consistent character widths and quick legibility are priorities.
The tone is functional and pragmatic, leaning toward technical documentation and classic terminal or typewriter aesthetics. It feels matter-of-fact and reliable, with a slightly retro computing character that suits data-driven or instructional contexts more than expressive display work.
The design appears intended for clarity and consistency in monospaced environments, prioritizing even rhythm, straightforward construction, and dependable readability over stylistic flourish.
Round letters remain slightly squared in feel, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and emphatic. Lowercase shapes are simplified and workmanlike, keeping strong differentiation between common forms for quick scanning.
