A monospaced sans with a sturdy, geometric construction and consistent stroke widths. The letterforms are wide and evenly spaced, producing a steady horizontal rhythm and clear alignment in text. Curves are round and controlled, while straight strokes end in clean, squared terminals; overall counters are fairly open, with a tall x-height that keeps lowercase forms prominent. Numerals and capitals share the same firm, grid-friendly presence, giving the set an even, systematic texture.
Well suited to code editors, terminal-style interfaces, and any setting where strict character alignment matters, such as tables, logs, and technical documentation. It also works for concise UI labels and small blocks of instructional text where clarity and consistent spacing are priorities.
The tone is pragmatic and technical, with a straightforward, engineered feel. Its disciplined spacing and restrained shapes suggest tools, code, and labeling rather than expressive or decorative typography.
Designed to provide dependable, monospaced clarity with a modern sans voice, prioritizing uniform spacing, legibility, and predictable rhythm in structured text. The wide set and tall lowercase aim to keep characters readable while maintaining a clean, systematized appearance.
Distinctive moments include a single-storey lowercase “a”, a simple hooked “j”, and compact punctuation that stays crisp at size. The uniform character widths and broad proportions make blocks of text appear orderly and structured, with minimal visual flourish.
