A slanted monoline sans with rounded, open counters and a steady, evenly spaced rhythm. Strokes are smooth and consistent, with gently curved joins and terminals that read as clean and practical rather than decorative. Uppercase forms feel simple and architectural, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably the single-storey a and g) and a straightforward, highly regular silhouette across the set. Numerals are similarly restrained and readable, with round bowls and uncomplicated construction that stays consistent with the letterforms.
Well suited to environments that benefit from strict alignment and predictable spacing, such as code, terminal interfaces, logs, and tabular data. It also works effectively for captions, technical documentation, and compact UI text where a clean, regular texture and easy character separation are priorities.
The overall tone is pragmatic and mildly retro, recalling the clarity of terminal and typewriter-era UI text while staying neutral enough for contemporary layouts. Its slant adds a sense of motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or calligraphic, giving it a focused, workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, consistently spaced sans for structured text, pairing a neutral construction with an italicized stance to support emphasis without sacrificing regularity. Its simplified shapes and open counters suggest a focus on legibility and reliability in utilitarian settings.
In text, the uniform advance and consistent stroke behavior produce a tidy, grid-friendly texture with predictable word shapes. Round letters (o, e, c) stay notably open, and the slant is even across both uppercase and lowercase, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
