A slanted, monoline sans with a strongly modular, engineered construction. Curves are kept tight and geometric while corners read as firm and squared-off, producing a compact, steady texture. The rhythm is highly regular, with consistent character widths and even stroke distribution that create a measured, grid-like feel in text. Counters are open and simple, and terminals tend to finish flat, reinforcing a straightforward, workmanlike silhouette.
Well-suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment and predictable spacing, such as code snippets, terminal-style interfaces, tabular data, and technical or system labeling. It can also work for minimalist headings or identity elements when a mechanical, structured tone is desired.
The overall tone is practical and technical, with a subtle retro computing and machine-label character. Its consistent spacing and restrained forms give it a disciplined, procedural voice that feels dependable rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to provide an efficient, uniform reading texture for technical and structured content, prioritizing consistency and clear, repeatable shapes over calligraphic nuance.
The italic slant is uniform across the set and combines with the consistent advance widths to create a brisk, forward-leaning line while maintaining an orderly cadence. Numerals follow the same structural logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed alphanumeric strings.
