A heavy, monolinear sans with a strongly geometric construction and monospaced rhythm. Forms are built from sturdy verticals and broad bowls, with subtly rounded corners that keep the shapes from feeling sharp. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular-to-oval, producing dense color and high presence on the page. Uppercase proportions are wide and stable, while the lowercase stays simple and mechanical, with single-storey a and g and short, straight terminals. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with clear, open shapes and consistent stroke endings.
Well-suited to environments where fixed-width alignment matters, such as code editors, terminals, and tabular data. The heavy presence also works for labels, technical graphics, and bold typographic statements like posters or headings that benefit from a structured, grid-like rhythm.
The overall tone is utilitarian and technical, with an industrial, machine-lettered feel. Its even pacing and dense texture suggest functional labeling and signage aesthetics, while the softened corners add a mild retro friendliness without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, highly legible monospaced voice with a clean sans structure and simplified, geometric letterforms. It prioritizes consistency, alignment, and strong visual impact across both text and standalone glyphs.
Character shapes emphasize clarity through simplified anatomy: the Q has a distinct diagonal tail, the J drops below the baseline, and the i/j dots are square-like and prominent at text sizes. The monospaced spacing creates a pronounced vertical rhythm that reads as structured and orderly, especially in all-caps settings.
