A slanted, sturdy sans with even stroke weight and rounded curves. The forms are compact and upright in structure despite the italic angle, with consistent, squared-off terminals and simplified joins that keep counters open and shapes highly uniform. Curves (O/C/G/Q and the bowls in B/P/R) read smooth and controlled, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y and k) are straight and assertive, producing a regular, grid-like rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited to interface labeling, code-like displays, dashboards, and any layout that benefits from strict alignment and consistent character widths. It also works for industrial branding, packaging callouts, and bold, compact headlines where a technical, forward-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and engineered—more like labeling, equipment, or terminal output than editorial typography. Its forward slant adds urgency and motion, while the disciplined repetition of shapes gives it a dependable, workmanlike character with a subtle retro-computing flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, highly regular typographic texture with a sense of speed and practicality. It emphasizes consistent spacing, simplified letterforms, and strong silhouettes to stay readable in tight, information-dense contexts while projecting an engineered, modern attitude.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, simplified construction that prioritizes clarity over flourish. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with strong silhouettes that hold up well in dense settings. In the sample text, the steady cadence and tight geometry create an efficient texture that stays legible at a glance.
