A monospaced sans with a rounded-rectangle, superellipse-driven construction. Strokes are even and steady, with squared terminals softened by gentle corner rounding, producing a modular, grid-friendly rhythm. Curves are controlled and compact (notably in C, G, O, and 0), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y stay straight and economical. Counters are fairly open for a mono design, and the overall proportions feel balanced with clear, consistent spacing across letters and figures.
Well-suited to programming environments, terminals, and UI surfaces where fixed character widths support alignment. It also fits technical documentation, forms, and data-heavy layouts that benefit from consistent metrics and clear differentiation between similar glyphs.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, leaning toward an engineered, interface-ready feel rather than expressive display. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, but the dominant impression remains disciplined, systematic, and tool-like.
The design appears intended to provide a modern monospaced workhorse with a rounded geometric voice—prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and dependable alignment while avoiding harshness through softened corners.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g”, a simple “1” with a small flag and base, and a “0” with a vertical interior cut, aiding character differentiation in dense text. The punctuation and spacing in the sample set reinforce a stable, code-and-data-oriented cadence.
