A slender, right-leaning sans with monospaced spacing and a consistent, even rhythm. Strokes are uniform and smooth, with softly rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture light and airy. Curves are broadly circular (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and straight, giving a balanced geometric feel. Lowercase forms are compact and clear, with single-storey “a” and “g,” open counters, and a gently curved descender on “q.” Numerals are simple and streamlined, with an oval “0” and clean, straight “1.”
Well-suited to coding environments, terminal output, and interfaces where fixed-width alignment matters, such as tables, logs, and forms. It can also work for compact captions, technical documentation, and labeling where a clean, slanted sans voice is desired without heavy emphasis.
The overall tone is precise and contemporary, leaning toward an engineering or code-like neutrality rather than expressive personality. The italic slant adds a sense of motion and efficiency while staying understated and orderly.
The design appears intended to provide a streamlined monospaced italic for practical, information-forward settings, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and smooth geometric construction while keeping the page color light.
Spacing is notably even across glyphs, producing a grid-like, mechanical cadence that stays consistent in paragraphs. Distinctive shapes like the tailed “Q,” the curved-bottom “J,” and the open, rounded “e” help maintain character differentiation despite the minimalist construction.
