A sturdy, geometric sans with monospaced rhythm and evenly distributed spacing. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with rounded bowls and straightforward terminals that keep letterforms crisp at a range of sizes. Curves (C, G, O, Q) read as near-circular, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are straight and decisive, giving the design a stable, engineered feel. The lowercase is simple and open, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and compact joins, maintaining consistent color across lines of text.
Well-suited to coding environments, terminal displays, and developer tooling where fixed-width alignment is essential. It also fits UI labels, configuration screens, and data-heavy layouts such as tables and logs, and can serve as a clean, functional voice for technical documentation and system-style graphics.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-computing or instrument-panel character. Its regular, fixed-width cadence feels systematic and orderly, lending a technical voice without becoming decorative or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable, alignment-friendly readability with a modern geometric sans construction. Its forms prioritize consistency, clarity, and predictable spacing, suggesting a focus on practical communication in technical and screen-oriented contexts.
Figures are clear and structurally consistent, matching the same geometric logic as the letters. The sample text shows steady line texture and predictable spacing, emphasizing legibility and alignment in continuous reading, especially where columns or character counts matter.
