A clean, monolinear sans with boxy proportions and gently rounded corners that soften an otherwise technical skeleton. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many terminals end in flat, square cuts. Curves are broad and stable, with open counters and straightforward joins that keep letterforms crisp at a range of sizes. Spacing and alignment feel tightly disciplined, creating an even, grid-like rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to interface typography where consistent rhythm matters, such as navigation, settings panels, data tables, and form fields. It also works effectively for technical documentation, captions, and concise headings where clarity and uniform texture are priorities.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a modern, engineered feel. Its steady rhythm and restrained shapes suggest clarity and reliability rather than expressiveness, leaning toward a functional, system-like voice.
The design appears intended to prioritize readability and consistency in structured layouts, using simple geometry and restrained detailing to create a dependable, workhorse sans for screen-forward and information-dense contexts.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while lowercase shapes stay simple and highly legible, emphasizing clear differentiation between similar characters. Numerals are straightforward and bold, matching the letterforms’ sturdy geometry and consistent texture in running text.
