A heavy, oblique sans with monospaced spacing and a broad footprint. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded bowls and smooth curves balanced by crisp, angled terminals. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm; counters stay fairly open for the weight, and joins remain clean and purposeful. Overall proportions feel wide and steady, with a strong baseline presence and simplified, no-frills detailing.
Well-suited to code-like displays, terminal aesthetics, and data-forward interfaces where fixed-width alignment is useful. Its dense, slanted texture also works for short, punchy headlines, posters, and branding moments that need a strong, technical voice. Best used at medium to large sizes where the bold forms and diagonal energy can breathe.
The font communicates speed and force without becoming decorative—more like engineered signage than expressive calligraphy. Its steady, one-cell-per-character cadence reads as pragmatic and system-oriented, while the oblique stance adds urgency and motion. The tone is confident, functional, and slightly retro-tech.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modernist sans voice in a monospaced, oblique format—combining the alignment utility of fixed-width types with the momentum of an italic. The emphasis appears to be on sturdy construction, consistent rhythm, and high-impact presence in compact lines.
Round letters maintain even curvature at this weight, helping keep forms recognizable in tight settings. The numerals appear robust and stable, matching the uppercase in density and slant, which supports consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric strings.
