A crisp monoline sans with a strictly even rhythm and clearly fixed character width. Strokes are straightforward and low in modulation, with mostly square terminals and compact, controlled curves. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as near-circular but slightly squared in feel, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L, T) emphasize a clean grid alignment. The lowercase shows simple, open construction with a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short-shouldered “r”, and a narrow, direct “t”, reinforcing a practical, engineered texture in text.
Well suited to code samples, developer tools, and any interface typography that benefits from strict alignment and predictable spacing. It also fits tabular content, logs, and technical documentation where quick scanning and consistent character widths improve clarity.
The overall tone is functional and matter-of-fact, evoking coding, terminals, and instrumentation rather than expressive display. Its consistent spacing and restrained shapes give it a calm, dependable voice suited to information-first typography.
Designed to prioritize consistency and readability in grid-based layouts, with simple geometric forms that stay legible under dense setting and repetitive patterns. The letterforms aim for clear differentiation and a neutral presence rather than stylistic flair.
Counters are kept open and uncomplicated, aiding recognition at smaller sizes. Numerals are plain and distinct, with a rounded “0” and clean, linear figures that maintain the same set width as letters, producing a disciplined, tabular feel in mixed content.
