A heavy, monospaced sans with a squared, superellipse construction: straight verticals and horizontals are paired with generously rounded corners and bowl shapes that feel like softened rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, stable letterforms and an even typographic color. Curves in C, G, O, and S are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals read blunt and engineered rather than calligraphic. Counters are open enough to stay clear at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is tightly regular due to fixed character widths.
Well-suited to interface labeling, dashboard readouts, and terminal-inspired layouts where strict alignment and consistent character widths matter. The dense weight and softened corners also make it effective for punchy headlines, posters, and branding moments that want a technical, tool-like feel without sharp edges.
The tone is functional and workmanlike, with a subtly friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It evokes classic terminals, labeling systems, and industrial signage—practical, direct, and slightly retro without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust monospaced voice with rounded-rectilinear forms, prioritizing consistent alignment, strong presence, and clear silhouette recognition in mixed alphanumeric settings.
The numerals and capitals share the same squared-round logic, giving mixed content a cohesive, system-like look. Diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are wide and sturdy, reinforcing the font’s engineered, grid-oriented personality.
