A monospaced sans with even stroke weight, broad proportions, and a distinctly geometric construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while straights end in flat, square terminals, producing a tidy, engineered look. Letterforms keep generous internal space and open apertures, helping counters stay clear in both uppercase and lowercase. The overall rhythm is steady and consistent, with straightforward joins and minimal modulation that favors clarity over ornament.
Well suited to code display, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout where column alignment matters, such as tables, logs, or configuration readouts. It also works for technical documentation, diagrams, captions, and compact UI labels where a consistent rhythm and clear counters help maintain readability at small to medium sizes.
The tone is practical and matter-of-fact, with a mild retro-computing flavor reminiscent of system, terminal, and instrument labeling. Its wide set and rounded geometry feel approachable rather than severe, while the strict spacing adds a disciplined, technical character.
The design appears intended to deliver a neutral, highly regular reading texture in fixed-width settings, balancing geometric simplicity with enough roundness to keep long passages comfortable. Its proportions and open shapes suggest an emphasis on legibility in structured, information-dense environments.
Distinctive forms include a single-storey lowercase “a,” a looped “g,” a compact, rounded “s,” and a clean, diagonal-legged “R,” all drawn to sit comfortably within the fixed-width grid. Numerals read plainly and align neatly, reinforcing the font’s structured, data-friendly texture in running text.
