A slanted, monospaced sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and compact proportions. Forms lean consistently to the right and favor straight-sided construction with rounded corners rather than full, calligraphic curves. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, counters are fairly open, and the overall rhythm is even and grid-friendly, with punctuation and figures sharing the same steady set width.
Well suited to code samples, terminal-style interfaces, developer tools, and any layout where vertical alignment matters, such as tables, logs, and forms. It also works for concise technical headings or labels when a slanted, energetic emphasis is desired without losing the disciplined feel of fixed spacing.
The tone feels pragmatic and workmanlike, with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its consistent spacing and firm shapes suggest speed, clarity, and a no-nonsense attitude rather than elegance or warmth.
Likely designed to provide an italic companion for monospaced settings, adding emphasis while preserving alignment and predictable spacing. The geometric, blunt construction points to prioritizing clarity and consistency in screen- and UI-oriented typography.
The slant is strong enough to read as an italic voice while keeping the rigidity of a fixed-width design. Capitals appear tall and assertive, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation in key shapes (notably the single-storey-style constructions and open apertures), helping maintain legibility in dense strings.
