A heavy, geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and a compact, block-built construction. Curves are broad and controlled, with round counters that read more like softened rectangles than true circles, while straight strokes end in flat, square terminals. Proportions are generous horizontally, giving letters a stable footprint and clear word shapes; apertures stay open and counters remain large even at the heavier weight. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, pairing simple bowls and shoulders with minimal modulation, and the numerals share the same sturdy, even color and consistent width.
Well suited to interfaces, dashboards, and code- or console-adjacent typography where fixed-width alignment helps scanning and comparison. It can also work for short headlines, labels, and wayfinding-style signage that benefit from a dense, assertive presence and clean geometry.
The overall tone is pragmatic and tool-like, with a straightforward rhythm that feels engineered rather than expressive. Its strong, even texture suggests modern utility—more about clarity and system consistency than personality or flourish.
Likely designed to provide a robust, fixed-width sans for environments where alignment, consistency, and quick recognition are priorities. The forms emphasize durability and clarity through simple geometry, open counters, and an even, highly regular rhythm.
The consistent character width and broad sidebearings create a steady cadence in running text and make columns and tabular settings look orderly. The heavy weight produces strong emphasis, so spacing and line breaks have a clear, structured feel.
