A monospaced sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction that gives bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Strokes are even and steady, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, producing a crisp, orderly texture in text. Curves are generously rounded while verticals and horizontals stay firm, creating a consistent rhythm across letters and numerals. The overall proportions read balanced and compact, with clear differentiation between similarly sized glyphs within the fixed character width.
Well suited to code editors, terminals, and technical documentation where predictable character spacing and clear rhythm matter. It also fits UI components, settings screens, and data-heavy layouts such as tables, dashboards, and labeling systems that benefit from consistent alignment.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, leaning toward a functional, engineering-like neutrality rather than expressive calligraphy. Its rounded geometry softens the feel, keeping it approachable while still reading as precise and systematic.
The likely intention is a practical, modern monospaced workhorse with softened geometry—optimized for structured reading and alignment while avoiding a harsh, purely mechanical feel.
The design maintains strong alignment and spacing consistency typical of fixed-width faces, which reinforces a grid-like regularity in blocks of text. Numerals match the alphabet’s geometric logic, with rounded corners and stable silhouettes that keep figures visually even in tabular contexts.
