A compact, modular sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently heavy, even strokes. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circular bowls, giving counters a squarish, superellipse feel. Terminals are blunt and flat, joins are crisp, and spacing is highly regular, producing a steady, typewriter-like rhythm. The lowercase is deliberately simple and sturdy, with short extenders and clearly separated punctuation and dots.
Works well for interfaces, dashboards, device labeling, and any context that benefits from a rigid, grid-friendly texture. The strong, compact shapes also suit posters, packaging, and wayfinding where a sturdy, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone is functional and machine-made, with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its squared, softened geometry feels engineered and straightforward rather than expressive, projecting reliability and restraint.
Likely designed to deliver a consistent, screen-forward reading texture built from simple geometric parts, emphasizing uniform spacing, durability at small sizes, and a no-nonsense industrial character.
The design prioritizes uniformity and clarity, with generous internal counters for the weight and a strong baseline presence. The numerals share the same squared-rounded logic, reinforcing the cohesive, system-like look across text and data.
