A heavy, oblique sans with monospaced rhythm and broad, rounded forms. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and squared-off terminals that read cleanly at a distance. Curves are generously circular (notably in O/Q/0 and the bowls of b/d/p), while diagonals and joins stay crisp, giving the design a firm, engineered feel. Spacing is uniform and grid-like, producing a steady texture in lines of text and a strong block presence in caps.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment and strong emphasis, such as terminals, code samples, tables, and system-style UI labeling. Its heavy, slanted forms also make it effective for bold headlines, signage, and short display lines where a technical or industrial flavor is desired.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, balancing a technical, machine-like regularity with a slightly retro slant. It feels confident and direct, with the bold voice and oblique posture adding urgency and motion while still staying disciplined and systematic.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, oblique monospaced voice with clean geometry and high visual impact. It prioritizes regularity, alignment, and clarity of silhouette over delicate detail, aiming for a practical, technical impression that still reads lively in display settings.
Figures are large and prominent, matching the uppercase weight and making numeric strings visually emphatic. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the monospaced fit creates a clear vertical alignment that reads as structured and data-friendly.
