A sturdy, square-shouldered sans with monoline construction and compact, engineered curves. Corners tend toward blunt or lightly rounded terminals, and many forms show a softly squared geometry rather than fully circular bowls. The overall rhythm is even and mechanical, with consistent stroke endings and simplified joins that keep counters open and legible. Numerals and letters share the same steady, grid-friendly proportions, giving the face a highly regular texture in running text.
Well suited for interfaces, dashboards, and any setting that benefits from strict alignment such as tables, forms, and code-like readouts. The strong, compact shapes also work for labeling, signage, and packaging where quick recognition and consistent spacing matter.
The tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and mid-century technical printing. Its firm silhouettes and disciplined spacing feel straightforward and dependable rather than expressive or delicate, with a subtle retro-computing flavor.
Likely drawn to provide a robust, highly regular sans for grid-based typography, prioritizing clarity, uniformity, and a mechanical consistency that remains readable under tight spacing and small sizes.
The lowercase includes a single-storey “a” and a single-storey “g,” reinforcing a simplified, functional voice. Round letters like O/C/G read slightly squarish, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are heavy and stable, helping the font hold up in dense settings and at smaller sizes.
