A heavy, compact sans with monospaced spacing and a distinctly squared, engineered construction. Strokes are thick and consistent, with rounded outer curves but mostly flat terminals and a generally boxy silhouette. Counters are relatively small, apertures are tight, and joins are sturdy, giving the design a dense, high-ink texture. Round letters like O/C/G read more like softened rectangles, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are strong and angular. Lowercase forms are simple and built for clarity at medium-to-large sizes, with a single-storey a and g and short, firm extenders.
Well suited to interfaces, terminals, code samples, and tabular or columnar layouts where fixed character width and consistent rhythm matter. It can also work for bold headlines or signage-style typography when a sturdy, technical voice is desired, especially in short bursts of text.
The overall tone feels pragmatic and workmanlike—more instrument-panel than editorial. Its uniform rhythm and stout shapes suggest a no-nonsense, slightly retro computing or machinery aesthetic, prioritizing stability and legibility over finesse.
The design appears intended as a robust monospaced workhorse with a softened-square geometry—balancing mechanical regularity with rounded shaping to keep dense text from feeling too harsh.
The numerals share the same squared-round logic, with a compact, sign-like presence that holds up well in sets. Punctuation and key shapes maintain a consistent, blocky rhythm, reinforcing the font’s systematic, grid-friendly feel.
