A heavy, monospaced sans with squared, slab-like terminals and softly rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, solid counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Forms are built from simple geometric structures—rectangular stems paired with circular bowls—while small notches and cut-ins at some joins add an ink-trap-like ruggedness. The overall set is compact and sturdy, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and numerals that read cleanly at display and UI sizes.
Well-suited to coding environments, terminal simulations, UI readouts, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment. It also works effectively for labels, packaging, and bold typographic posters where a sturdy, technical voice and strong legibility are priorities.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, evoking utilitarian labeling, equipment markings, and vintage terminal/typewriter output. Its blocky weight and engineered geometry give it a tough, industrial confidence, while rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust monospaced workhorse with a technical, industrial flavor—optimized for consistent rhythm, strong presence, and clear recognition of letters and numbers in structured layouts.
The grid-like spacing and uniform character widths create an even texture in paragraphs and code-like settings. The punctuation and lowercase show a workmanlike, slightly rugged finish, with details that help preserve clarity in tight, dense text.
