A sturdy oblique sans with uniform stroke weight and broad, open proportions. Forms are built from simple geometric curves and straight terminals, producing a clean, even rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Counters are generous and round, joins are uncomplicated, and the overall texture stays steady and grid-friendly, giving the alphabet a disciplined, engineered feel.
Well-suited to interface labeling, terminal-style layouts, code snippets, and any setting that benefits from strict alignment and predictable spacing. It also works for technical documentation, charts, and data-heavy compositions where a stable typographic grid is important.
The tone reads functional and technical, with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its steady cadence and no-nonsense shapes feel matter-of-fact and pragmatic rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, consistent, slanted sans for structured reading contexts, prioritizing regular rhythm, simple construction, and reliable alignment for utilitarian typography.
The slant is consistent across the set, and the wide letterforms keep interiors clear at display sizes. Round letters like O/C and the single-storey style in the lowercase contribute to a straightforward, approachable geometry while maintaining a distinctly mechanical regularity.
