A heavy, monospaced sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad shoulders and squared-off curves that keep round letters (O, C, G) close to boxy silhouettes. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and simple, sturdy joins; numerals are similarly chunky with generous interior space for clarity at size. Overall rhythm is even and grid-like, with consistent character widths and a compact, solid texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to interfaces and environments that benefit from fixed-width alignment, such as coding contexts, terminal-style displays, and data-heavy dashboards. Its chunky forms also work for short labels, badges, and bold headings where a sturdy, tech-adjacent tone is desired.
The font conveys a pragmatic, machine-like voice with a nostalgic terminal/computing undertone, softened by rounded corners that keep it approachable rather than severe. Its presence feels confident and stable, leaning toward functional clarity over expressiveness.
The design appears intended to merge monospaced utility with a contemporary rounded geometry, delivering consistent alignment and strong legibility while adding a friendlier, more tactile edge than hard-cornered monos.
The rounded-square geometry is especially evident in curves and bowls, giving the design a distinctive “softened industrial” look. The dense weight and monospaced spacing create strong vertical alignment and a pronounced typographic color in blocks of text.
