A clean, monospaced sans with sturdy, even strokes and broadly proportioned letterforms. Curves are built from simple, geometric arcs with generously sized counters, while terminals are mostly straight and unadorned, giving the shapes a slightly boxy, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms read compact and stable, and the lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike structure with single-storey shapes and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same rational construction, with consistent widths and clear, uncluttered silhouettes.
Well-suited to code editors, terminal-style UI, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, logs, and structured data. It also performs well for technical documentation, schematics, and short interface labels where consistent rhythm and quick character recognition are important.
The overall tone is pragmatic and technical, prioritizing clarity and predictability over personality. Its restrained geometry and steady cadence evoke coding, system interfaces, and functional labeling rather than expressive display typography.
Designed to provide a dependable monospaced voice with uncomplicated, geometric forms and strong legibility in continuous text. The emphasis appears to be on consistency across glyphs and a clear, no-nonsense presence for functional reading contexts.
Round letters like O/C/G lean toward squarish geometry rather than perfect circles, which reinforces the mechanical feel. Punctuation and dots appear robust and prominent at text sizes, supporting legibility in dense, utilitarian settings.
