A sturdy, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and squared-off terminals that keep shapes crisp and compact. Curves are round but slightly squared in feel, producing a firm, engineered rhythm rather than a soft one. Counters are open and clean, with clear separation between similar forms; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and punctuation is rendered with blocky, rectangular dots. Overall spacing is even and systematic, supporting a regular, grid-like texture in text.
Works well where alignment and consistent character spacing matter, such as code displays, console or terminal UI, tabular readouts, and technical labels. The sturdy letterforms and clear differentiation also suit small interface text, captions, and utilitarian branding where clarity is prioritized.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a faint retro-computing and instrumentation flavor. Its rigid terminals and uniform build read as dependable and technical, projecting clarity over personality.
The design appears intended for clear, consistent reading in structured layouts, combining geometric simplicity with robust weight for dependable on-screen and print utility. It emphasizes systematic spacing, legibility cues, and a pragmatic, technical voice.
Figures are plain and readable, with a slashed zero for quick differentiation. The lowercase has straightforward, workmanlike shapes with minimal modulation, reinforcing an engineered, set-and-go appearance.
