A slanted monospaced sans with softly squared, rounded-rectangle construction across bowls and counters. Strokes are even and smooth with gently rounded terminals, creating a consistent, low-friction rhythm. Many letters show simplified, superellipse-like curves (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase e), while verticals lean forward and join with subtle bends rather than sharp corners. The overall texture is airy and tidy, with compact apertures and a slightly elastic, handwritten-meets-digital feel.
Works well where fixed-width alignment matters, such as code samples, terminal-style UI, and tabular or form-like layouts. The slant and rounded construction also suit short bursts of text—captions, labels, and headings—when a friendlier tone is desired without sacrificing systematic spacing.
The font reads as approachable and lightly retro, balancing utilitarian typewriter associations with a warmer, more personal slant. Its rounded geometry and soft endings keep it friendly, while the strict cell-to-cell spacing and steady stroke give it a technical, structured tone. The result feels informal but controlled—good for interfaces that want warmth without losing clarity.
Likely designed to modernize a typewriter/terminal voice by replacing hard mechanical corners with rounded, superellipse-inspired curves, while keeping monospaced discipline and an italicized forward motion for emphasis and personality.
Uppercase forms remain simple and upright in structure while retaining the forward slant, and the lowercase introduces more distinctive loops and hooks (e.g., g, a, and y). Numerals are clean and monoline, with squared-off curves that echo the letterforms; overall spacing is uniform, producing a consistent color in running text.
