A compact, monospaced sans with squared proportions and generously rounded corners that give curves a superellipse feel. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and clear, open apertures. Round letters like O and C read as squarish rounds, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep a rigid, grid-friendly geometry. Terminals are blunt and consistent, and the spacing rhythm is regular and mechanical, supporting a stable texture in lines of text.
Well suited to code editors, terminal-style interfaces, UI labels, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, logs, and dashboards. The chunky, rounded geometry also works for short headings, badges, and signage where clear forms and consistent rhythm matter.
The overall tone is functional and tool-like, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded-rectangle construction softens the industrial feel just enough to seem approachable, while remaining distinctly technical and systematic.
The design appears intended for clear monospaced reading with a geometric, rounded-square construction that maintains strong alignment and sturdy letterforms. It prioritizes consistent width, repeatable shapes, and dependable clarity in dense, technical text settings.
Distinctive features include the square-ish bowls and counters, a single-storey g, and sturdy numerals that match the lettering’s blocky curvature. The uniform character widths produce a strong vertical alignment, making repeated patterns and columns visually tidy.
