A slanted, low-contrast sans with a consistent stroke and rounded curves that stay crisp at the joins. Forms are wide and evenly set, giving the alphabet a steady, grid-like rhythm. Bowls and counters are generous and fairly circular, while terminals tend toward flat, squared endings rather than tapered calligraphy. Numerals follow the same open, rounded construction, with a clearly slashed zero and straightforward, upright-feeling figures despite the overall italic slant.
This font suits interface text, code or command-line styled content, tabular data, and technical documentation where consistent spacing and clear character separation help scanning. It also works well for compact labeling, diagrams, and headings that benefit from an angled, forward-leaning emphasis without becoming decorative.
The overall tone feels functional and slightly retro, like labeling on instruments, terminals, or technical documentation. Its smooth curves and disciplined spacing keep it friendly, but the italic angle adds motion and a subtle sense of speed.
The design appears intended to provide a practical, evenly spaced italic sans that stays clear in dense settings. Its wide proportions, open counters, and distinctive numerals suggest a focus on legibility and unambiguous character recognition in utilitarian contexts.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, looped “e,” and a clear differentiation between “0” and “O” via the diagonal slash. The wide set and consistent spacing make lines of text look orderly and engineered, especially in longer paragraphs.
