A compact, modular sans with consistent stroke thickness and a disciplined, grid-driven construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-yet-soft profile. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, while several joins resolve into sharp, notched corners that read as intentional cut-ins rather than organic curves. The overall rhythm is tight and orderly, with narrow proportions, clear spacing, and highly uniform glyph widths across letters and numerals.
Best suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment and consistent character widths, such as code-like UI, terminal-style interfaces, data tables, system dashboards, and technical documentation. It also works well for compact labels, signage, and packaging where a precise, engineered voice is desired.
The font conveys a technical, utilitarian tone with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its rounded-square geometry feels engineered and systematic, while the occasional notches and pointed joints add a slightly sci‑fi, industrial edge without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide a pragmatic, screen-forward workhorse with a distinctive rounded-square skeleton—optimized for alignment-heavy settings while maintaining recognizable letterforms and steady texture in running text.
Distinctive angular cut-ins appear in a number of capitals (notably in diagonals and V/W-like structures), creating a quasi-stencil or machined feel. Round characters such as O/Q and several lowercase bowls maintain a squarish curvature that keeps the texture steady and prevents the face from feeling soft or handwritten. Numerals follow the same modular logic, staying simple and highly legible.
