A sturdy monolinear design with squared, geometric construction and softly rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and a clear, mechanical rhythm. Counters tend to be compact, terminals are blunt, and many curves feel slightly squared-off, giving letters a dense, engineered presence. The lowercase is straightforward and functional, with a single-storey “a” and a single-storey “g,” while the overall spacing and consistent set widths create a measured, grid-friendly texture in text.
Well suited to interfaces, developer tools, console-style displays, and other contexts where strict alignment and consistent character widths are useful. It also fits labels, packaging, and bold informational typography that benefits from a technical, utilitarian tone.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike feel that reads as retro-computing or instrumentation adjacent. Its heft and simplified shapes project solidity and directness rather than elegance, making it feel dependable and purpose-built.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, durable, system-oriented voice with geometric simplicity and strong texture. It prioritizes consistency and grid alignment, aiming for a practical look that remains legible and stable under demanding display conditions.
In running text, the strong verticals and compact counters produce a dark, uniform color that holds together well in blocks. The figures are similarly robust and simple, supporting a consistent, system-like voice across letters and numbers.
