A slanted, monolinear sans with a strongly consistent, cell-like rhythm and uniform character widths. Forms are built from clean arcs and straight segments with rounded terminals, keeping counters open and shapes sturdy at small sizes. The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the overall spacing reads disciplined and even. Numerals and punctuation match the same pragmatic construction, reinforcing a cohesive, systematized texture in running text.
Well suited to interfaces that benefit from strict alignment, such as code editors, terminal-style UI, logs, tables, and data-heavy layouts. It can also work for compact captions, technical documentation, and schematic labeling where a steady typographic rhythm and predictable spacing are valuable.
The overall tone is practical and engineered, with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its oblique stance adds motion and urgency without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the voice businesslike and dependable. The regular, repeating rhythm gives it a structured, instrumental feel suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a no-nonsense, grid-friendly oblique sans that stays legible under tight constraints while keeping a modern, geometric simplicity. Its uniform widths and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on alignment, predictability, and clear scanning in structured text.
Lowercase details lean toward simplified, single-storey constructions, and several letters show slight horizontal shearing typical of oblique styles. The consistent character width and sturdy curves create predictable word shapes and a distinctly grid-aligned color, especially noticeable in multi-line settings.
