A clean, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes stay even throughout, with rounded curves in C/O/Q and smooth joins that keep counters open and airy. Terminals are largely plain and straight, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, reinforced by uniform character widths and clear spacing. Figures and lowercase forms follow the same restrained geometry, with simple, legible shapes that maintain an even texture in continuous text.
Well suited to code-oriented and system contexts where consistent character widths help alignment, such as terminals, developer tools, and tabular readouts. It also works for compact UI labels, captions, and technical documentation where a light, unobtrusive typographic color is desirable.
The tone reads modern and utilitarian, with a calm, engineered feel. Its slanted, open shapes add motion and lightness without becoming expressive or decorative, giving it a crisp, contemporary voice suited to interface-like typography.
Likely designed to provide a lightweight, slanted companion for structured layouts, combining geometric clarity with consistent spacing for aligned text. The goal appears to be a neutral, contemporary reading texture that stays crisp in dense, utilitarian settings.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive. Round letters remain near-circular despite the angle, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sharp and clean, contributing to a tidy, technical look.
