A compact, monospaced sans with straight-sided, rounded-rectangle construction and a consistently even stroke. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than fully circular bowls, creating a squared-off, superellipse feel across rounds like C, O, and S. Terminals are blunt and horizontal/vertical alignment is emphasized, giving the design a steady, grid-friendly rhythm. Counters are open and simple, with generous interior space for a monospaced design, and the overall silhouette stays uniform and disciplined across letters and numerals.
Well suited to code editors, terminal interfaces, and developer tooling where aligned columns matter. It also fits data tables, dashboards, and compact UI labeling that benefit from predictable character widths and a steady typographic color.
The tone is functional and technical, with a matter-of-fact voice suited to systems and tooling. Its boxy softness reads modern and approachable without becoming playful, keeping a calm, engineering-forward demeanor.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, consistent monospaced texture with a contemporary, squared-rounded geometry. It prioritizes uniformity and legibility for mixed text and numeric content in structured layouts.
The numerals and lowercase share the same geometric logic as the capitals, reinforcing consistency in mixed alphanumeric strings. The design’s rounded corners help reduce harshness at larger sizes while maintaining clear, sharply defined letterforms and spacing typical of code-like settings.
