A clean monospaced sans with geometric construction and compact proportions. Strokes are uniform and straight-sided, with squared, flat terminals and minimally rounded joins that keep counters crisp. Round letters read more as softened rectangles than perfect circles, giving the set a slightly boxy rhythm. Spacing is strictly even per character, producing a steady, grid-like texture, while the punctuation and numerals follow the same simple, no-nonsense drawing style.
Well suited to code snippets, command-line style UI, and any setting that benefits from aligned characters such as tables, dashboards, logs, and forms. It also works for compact captions or technical documentation where consistent rhythm and predictable spacing improve scanning.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a technical flavor that recalls terminal and system text. Its disciplined spacing and restrained shapes feel functional rather than expressive, projecting clarity, neutrality, and a subtle retro-digital sensibility.
Designed to provide a dependable monospaced reading experience with simple geometry and consistent widths, prioritizing clarity and alignment over stylistic flourish. The restrained detailing suggests an intent to stay unobtrusive in dense, information-heavy layouts.
Caps are sturdy and straightforward, while lowercase forms stay simple and highly legible; the single-storey shapes and open forms help maintain clarity at small sizes. Numerals are clear and consistent in width, supporting data-like settings and aligned columns.
