A monospaced sans with generously rounded terminals and corners, giving each glyph a soft, tubular feel. Strokes are even and consistently weighted, with open apertures and simple, legible construction. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p), while joins remain uncomplicated and slightly blunted rather than sharp. The rhythm is steady and grid-friendly, with clear spacing and a calm, regular texture in text.
Well-suited to code display, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout requiring strict character alignment such as tables, schedules, and forms. Its rounded geometry also works well for UI labels, headings in tech-adjacent branding, and short-to-medium text where a friendly, modern texture is desired.
The rounded, simplified shapes convey a friendly and informal tone with a subtle tech and retro-computing flavor. It feels approachable and utilitarian rather than authoritative, balancing clarity with a playful softness.
Designed to provide a clear, monospaced reading experience while softening the typical mechanical feel through rounded terminals and smooth curves. The intent appears to combine utilitarian alignment and legibility with a warmer, more approachable voice.
Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic, with an open, curved 2 and a clean, simple 1. Lowercase forms keep to straightforward skeletons with a single-storey a and g, and punctuation appears compact and crisp, maintaining the font’s consistent softness.
