A monospaced, geometric sans with squared curves and a largely modular construction. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with straight terminals and minimal optical softening, giving the shapes a crisp, engineered feel. Counters tend toward squarish ovals, round characters read more like rounded rectangles, and diagonals are clean and direct. Spacing is consistent and grid-aligned, producing an even rhythm in both the glyph chart and paragraph sample.
Well suited to code editors, terminal interfaces, configuration screens, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, forms, logs, and data readouts. It can also work for utilitarian headings and technical documentation where a disciplined, grid-based texture is desirable.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a distinctly technical and slightly retro flavor reminiscent of terminal and typewriter-era letterforms. Its rigid spacing and squared geometry feel systematic and functional rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver predictable alignment and dependable legibility in structured, system-like contexts, using geometric, squared forms to stay crisp and consistent across a fixed-width grid. Its restrained drawing emphasizes clarity and uniform texture over stylistic flourish.
Round letters maintain a consistent, squared curvature, while straight-sided forms stay compact within the fixed character width, emphasizing a blocky silhouette. Figures are simple and legible in a coding/console sense, and punctuation appears designed to remain clear at small sizes within the same fixed-width framework.
