A slanted, monospaced sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, rounded bowls. Strokes are even and consistent, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letters a crisp, engineered look. Curves in C, O, and Q read as near-circular, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are straight and taut, producing an orderly rhythm. The lowercase is compact and highly legible with a tall x-height and open apertures, and figures align evenly with the set’s fixed-width spacing.
Well-suited to programming environments, terminals, and any layout that benefits from strict character alignment such as data tables, logs, and forms. It also works for technical documentation and compact UI labeling where a disciplined, consistent text color is desirable.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with an efficient, no-nonsense voice. Its slant adds motion and emphasis without feeling expressive or decorative, keeping the mood professional and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, readable monospaced voice with a subtle italic slant for emphasis, balancing geometric clarity with practical screen- and print-oriented spacing.
The consistent side bearings create a steady, grid-like texture in text, while the italic angle provides clear differentiation for emphasis or code comments. Round counters stay open at small sizes, and the punctuation and figures appear designed to sit neatly within the same fixed-width cadence as the letters.
