A heavy, monoline sans with squared-round construction and monospaced rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, giving O/C/G/e a superelliptic feel and keeping terminals blunt and clean. Proportions are broad and compact, with a large x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and dense internal spaces; apertures tend to stay relatively closed, especially in forms like a, e, and s. Diagonals in V/W/X/Y are thick and steady, and the overall texture is even and firmly gridded.
Works well where strict alignment and quick scanning matter, such as dashboards, terminal-style interfaces, UI labels, data readouts, and wayfinding or product labeling. The dense, chunky forms also suit bold headings and short copy that needs a compact, industrial voice.
The tone is functional and machine-like, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its blocky rounding reads contemporary and engineered, evoking instrumentation, labeling, and systems typography rather than expressive calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strongly gridded, monospaced sans that stays legible and consistent under tight spacing. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an aim toward a modern, engineered look that feels at home in technical and interface-driven contexts.
The numerals are robust and sign-like, with simple geometry and strong silhouettes that hold up at a glance. Overall spacing and strokes prioritize uniformity and impact, producing a dark, steady color in lines of text.
