A clean monolinear sans with geometric construction and softly squared curves, giving round letters a subtle superelliptical feel. Strokes are uniformly thin with minimal modulation, and terminals are straightforward and unornamented. Counters are open and simple, with rounded bowls on forms like B, D, O, and P, and crisp diagonals on A, V, W, X, and Y. Numerals follow the same even rhythm, with a clear, simple structure that stays consistent with the alphabet.
Well suited to code-like settings, developer tools, terminals, and interface labels where uniform spacing and clear, repeatable shapes are beneficial. It also works in tables, dashboards, and compact captions where consistent width and predictable rhythm help scanning and alignment.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a quietly technical character suited to structured, information-forward settings. Its restrained shapes and even spacing keep the voice neutral rather than expressive, reading as calm, precise, and functional.
Likely designed to provide a straightforward, modern workhorse face with a geometric, softly squared rounding that balances friendliness with a technical, structured feel. The emphasis appears to be on consistency and clarity in systematic layouts and text samples.
Rounded-rectangle curvature shows most strongly in circular letters and in the way corners transition smoothly rather than forming perfect circles. The rhythm across mixed-case text stays even and measured, supporting long lines of copy without drawing attention to individual letterforms.
