A condensed, monoline sans with a distinctly modular construction: curves are formed from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, producing squared-off bowls and softly radiused corners. Strokes stay even throughout, with minimal contrast and a steady, gridlike rhythm. Apertures are generally open and counters are compact, giving letters a tidy, engineered feel; terminals are blunt and consistently rounded. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow, while lowercase remains straightforward and legible with simple, unembellished details.
Well suited to contexts where alignment and consistent character widths are advantageous, such as code-like UI, terminals, tables, and technical readouts. The compact, condensed footprint can help fit long strings into narrow spaces, making it useful for labels, control panels, and information-dense layouts.
The overall tone feels technical and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-computing or industrial signage flavor. Its disciplined geometry reads as orderly and functional rather than expressive, lending a no-nonsense, instrument-like character to text.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, space-efficient, systemlike voice built from simple geometric primitives. By keeping strokes uniform and curves squared with rounded corners, it aims for dependable legibility and a precise, engineered aesthetic across both text and numerals.
Digit shapes follow the same squared-curve logic, staying narrow and uniform; the zero appears as a rounded rectangle with an inset counter, and the one is a simple vertical with minimal shaping. The sample text shows strong alignment and an even color on the page, with a crisp texture that emphasizes structure over softness.
