A condensed, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a strict, grid-like rhythm. Curves are built from near-circular bowls but are often squared at turns, giving letters a slightly rounded-rect feel rather than fully humanist shaping. Terminals are flat and blunt, counters are compact, and round glyphs (C, G, O, Q) read tight and controlled. The overall texture is even and mechanical, with consistent stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well where consistent character width and a steady typographic color are beneficial, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, dashboards, tables, and form-like layouts. Its condensed build also suits space-constrained labeling and bold, utilitarian headlines where a technical aesthetic is desired.
The font conveys a pragmatic, engineered tone—clean, no-nonsense, and mildly retro in a way that recalls labeling, instruments, and standardized signage. Its narrow proportions and uniform rhythm create a disciplined, technical voice rather than an expressive or friendly one.
Likely designed to provide a compact, highly consistent sans for structured settings, emphasizing regularity, alignment, and a standardized feel. The geometry and blunt terminals suggest an intention to look robust and functional across repetitive text and alphanumeric strings.
Uppercase forms appear tall and economical, while lowercase maintains simple, single-storey constructions and compact apertures that keep word shapes crisp. Numerals match the same squared, monoline logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters, reinforcing a consistent, systematized look.
