A monospaced, rounded-rectilinear sans with heavily softened corners and a superellipse-like construction throughout. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with subtle narrowing at joins and tight interior counters that create a slightly ink-trap, cut-in impression. Curves tend to square off into flattened bowls and squared arches, giving letters a boxy rhythm while keeping an approachable softness. Terminals are blunt and rounded, and apertures are generally compact, producing a dense, consistent texture in text.
Best suited to interfaces, dashboards, captions, and labeling where a steady monospaced rhythm and compact forms are helpful. It also works well for posters, packaging, and identity applications seeking a terminal/industrial flavor, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the softened geometry and distinctive notches remain clear.
The overall tone is practical and machine-like with a playful edge—evoking terminals, labeling, and retro computing aesthetics. Its rounded corners and compact shapes keep it from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, slightly quirky character suited to contemporary tech branding that nods to vintage hardware.
The design appears intended to combine strict monospaced structure with softened, superelliptical forms to achieve a technical look that still feels approachable. The compact counters and small cut-ins suggest an effort to maintain clarity and character in dense settings while preserving a cohesive, modular silhouette.
The set shows strong modular consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with many forms built from the same rounded-rectangle logic. The lowercase includes single-storey a and g, and several glyphs feature distinctive notches and angled strokes that add personality without breaking the rigid rhythm. Numerals are similarly squared and compact, staying visually aligned with the letterforms.
