A heavy, slanted sans with monospaced spacing and a strongly uniform rhythm. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded corners and oval-based curves that keep counters open despite the dense weight. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize a forward-leaning, engineered feel. The lowercase stays compact with simple, functional forms, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, geometric construction for consistent texture in runs of text.
Works well where strict alignment is needed, such as console-style interfaces, coding visuals, tables, and system readouts. The strong weight and slant also make it effective for punchy headings, technical packaging, signage, and bold labels where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a mechanical, workmanlike character. Its forward slant adds motion and urgency, giving it a sporty, technical vibe suited to modern UI and equipment-like labeling.
Likely designed to deliver a monospaced, high-impact voice with a contemporary sans construction, balancing strict grid alignment with rounded, geometric curves for clarity and cohesion. The slanted stance appears intended to add energy while keeping letterforms simple and robust.
The monospaced fit creates a gridlike regularity that can look especially deliberate in code-like layouts, tables, or tightly aligned settings. At larger sizes the rounded geometry reads friendly for such a heavy style, while at smaller sizes the dense weight can become dominant, making contrast and spacing choices important in layout.
