A heavy, monoline sans with a strongly rectilinear construction and compact counters. Curves are tightened into squarish rounds, producing D/O/C shapes that feel machined rather than calligraphic. Terminals are flat and decisive, with minimal modulation; joins are sturdy and somewhat condensed-looking within each character cell. The lowercase follows a single‑storey structure for a and g, with simple, straight-sided stems and small apertures that keep the texture dense and uniform in running text.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, and other places where a compact, consistent rhythm is useful. It also fits code-like or terminal-themed branding, technical documentation headings, packaging, and straightforward signage where a sturdy, squared sans texture is desired.
The overall tone is functional and mechanical, with a clear "system" feel that reads as practical and tool-like rather than expressive. Its squared curves and firm terminals evoke retro computing and industrial labeling, giving it an assertive, workmanlike voice.
Likely designed to deliver a robust, uniform typographic texture with a distinctly squared, engineered character. The emphasis appears to be on consistent rhythm, compact forms, and a practical voice that remains clear in short phrases, labels, and structured layouts.
The punctuation and numerals visually match the same squared, compact logic as the letters, helping paragraphs keep an even, rhythmic color. The dense internal spaces suggest it will look strongest when given a bit of breathing room in size or line spacing, especially in long blocks.
