A slanted, monolinear sans with even stroke weight and a steady, cell-by-cell rhythm. The forms are compact and disciplined, with rounded curves on bowls and numerals, and relatively straight, uncluttered terminals. Counters stay open and simple, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) keep a consistent angle that reinforces the overall forward lean. Lowercase shapes read plainly and functional, with a single-storey a and a clean, looped g; punctuation and dots appear round and crisp at the shown sizes.
Well suited to code display, terminal-style interfaces, logs, and other contexts where fixed character widths help alignment. It also works for data tables, charts, short technical notes, and compact captions where a consistent typographic rhythm is more important than expressive calligraphy.
The tone is pragmatic and tool-like, evoking coding environments, terminals, and technical documentation. Its italic slant adds a sense of motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, giving it a slightly retro, printout-like character that still feels modern and controlled.
Designed to deliver predictable alignment and clear, no-nonsense readability in structured text. The goal appears to be a restrained italic companion for environments that benefit from fixed spacing, keeping forms simple and consistent so text stays orderly across lines and columns.
Spacing appears strictly uniform across characters, producing a grid-friendly texture in paragraphs and samples. The numeral set is straightforward and highly legible, with simple geometry that matches the letterforms and maintains consistent color in running text.
