A compact, geometric sans with monoline strokes and squared-off terminals. Forms are built from simple circles and straight segments, producing round counters in O/C/G and crisp diagonals in K/V/W/X/Y. Curves are smooth but not delicate, and joins stay sturdy, giving the letters a solid, workmanlike texture. Spacing is strictly uniform, creating a consistent grid-like rhythm, while the lowercase keeps straightforward constructions (single-storey a and g) for clarity at small sizes.
Well-suited to interfaces, developer tools, terminal-style layouts, and any situation where alignment and column integrity matter, such as tables, specs, and dashboards. It also works for compact labeling and utilitarian signage where a clean, consistent rhythm is preferred over typographic nuance.
The overall tone is functional and matter-of-fact, with a mildly industrial, technical feel. Its even cadence and blunt terminals read as pragmatic rather than expressive, supporting a neutral voice that stays out of the way of content.
The design appears aimed at dependable, system-like typography that prioritizes uniform spacing, straightforward letterforms, and resilient shapes for repeated reading in structured layouts.
Uppercase shapes appear deliberately simplified and highly consistent, and the numerals share the same sturdy, geometric construction, helping mixed text and data look cohesive. The punctuation and dot elements read bold and clear, reinforcing legibility in dense settings.
