A compact, monospaced sans with a sturdy, geometric skeleton and slightly squared curves. Strokes are even and decisive, with minimal modulation and clean terminals that read as cut and flat rather than tapered. Rounds (O, C, G, e, o) feel more squarish than circular, and many counters are relatively tight, giving the face a dense, efficient rhythm. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike; the single-storey a and g reinforce the simplified construction, while tall ascenders and firm verticals keep the texture steady in lines of text. Numerals are clear and consistent in width, with a slashed zero that improves differentiation.
Well suited to code presentation, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as tables, forms, logs, and configuration screens. It also works effectively for compact UI labels, technical documentation, and captions where a consistent, no-nonsense texture is preferred.
The overall tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a technical, tool-like confidence. Its geometry and uniform spacing evoke terminals, coding environments, and functional labeling, while the slightly squared forms lend a subtle retro-computing flavor without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended for clarity and alignment in structured text, prioritizing uniform widths, simple letterforms, and strong differentiation (notably in the numerals). Its squared geometry suggests an aim to echo classic screen and typewriter-era aesthetics while staying clean enough for modern interface use.
Spacing is highly regular and the overall color is dark and even, producing a strong grid-like cadence in blocks of text. Apertures tend to be more closed, so the face feels solid and compact at smaller sizes, while remaining crisp in larger settings.
