A slanted, monoline sans with a compact, disciplined rhythm and evenly metered spacing that reads as fixed-pitch. Curves are simplified into rounded, slightly squarish bowls (notably in C, O, e), while straights stay firm and verticals remain visually steady despite the overall lean. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with occasional angled cuts that reinforce the forward motion. Figures are sturdy and straightforward, with simple construction and consistent stroke color across the set.
Well suited to environments where alignment and predictable spacing matter, such as code samples, terminal-style interfaces, tables, logs, and small UI labels. It can also work for technical documentation and instructional material where a steady, consistent text color is preferred.
The tone is practical and workmanlike, with a mild retro-computing flavor. Its steady cadence and no-nonsense shapes suggest data, code, and system interfaces rather than expressive or decorative typography. The italic slant adds momentum without becoming calligraphic.
The design appears intended to provide an oblique, fixed-pitch sans that stays highly regular in spacing and stroke behavior. It prioritizes functional clarity and an even typographic texture, aiming for a system-like voice that remains legible in dense, structured layouts.
Uppercase forms keep a strong, engineered feel with broad diagonals in A, V, W, and X, while lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and simplified joins. The round letters stay controlled and compact, and the overall texture remains even in blocks of text, creating a tidy, grid-friendly appearance.
