A monospaced sans with a geometric, superelliptic construction: round letters are built from rounded-rectangle shapes and smooth arcs, while straight strokes keep a consistent, even rhythm. Corners are softened rather than sharp, and terminals generally end cleanly without flares. Curves feel controlled and slightly boxy, giving bowls and counters a squared-off roundness (notably in letters like O, C, and e). Spacing is uniform and systematic, reinforcing a grid-like texture in both the glyph chart and the text sample.
This font suits contexts that benefit from predictable character width and steady rhythm, such as coding environments, terminal output, configuration files, and data tables. It also works well for compact UI labels, instrumentation-style interfaces, and technical documentation where consistent alignment and quick scanning matter.
The overall tone is functional and modern, with a restrained, engineered feel. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a friendly softness without becoming playful, landing in a pragmatic, tech-adjacent aesthetic reminiscent of UI labeling and console typography.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, orderly monospace voice with a geometric, rounded-rectangle motif—balancing neutrality and friendliness while prioritizing alignment and legibility in structured layouts.
Distinctive shapes include a single-storey “a,” open apertures, and simplified, sturdy diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. Numerals are straightforward and legible, with the zero using an internal counter that stays consistent with the font’s rounded-rect language.
