A slanted, monolinear sans with compact proportions and a steady, grid-like rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with rounded curves on bowls and clear, straight-sided joins in letters like N, M, and K. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall construction favors straightforward geometry over calligraphic modulation. The set reads cleanly in a fixed-width setting, with consistent character widths and measured spacing that keeps lines orderly.
Well suited to code-like settings, terminal displays, and developer-facing interfaces where fixed-width alignment is useful. It also fits compact UI labels, technical documentation, and data-heavy layouts such as tables or logs, where a consistent typographic color and predictable spacing improve readability.
The tone is functional and matter-of-fact, with a brisk, angled stance that adds momentum without becoming expressive or decorative. It feels at home in environments where clarity and structure matter, projecting a technical, workmanlike personality rather than a warm or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, slanted sans for structured text where alignment and consistency are priorities. Its restrained forms and even stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on dependable legibility and disciplined typographic texture.
The numerals are bold and plainly drawn, matching the alphabet’s no-nonsense forms, and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The sample text shows strong line regularity and predictable texture, supporting quick scanning in continuous passages.
