A slanted, monolinear sans with softened corners and rounded-rectangle construction in its curves. Strokes stay even and crisp, with open counters and generous inner space that keep forms clear. Proportions feel horizontally accommodating, and the consistent character width produces an orderly rhythm across words and numbers. Terminals are clean and straightforward, while curves (notably in bowls and the 0/8/9) read as smooth, controlled superellipse-like arcs.
Well-suited to interfaces where alignment and consistent rhythm matter, such as code editors, terminals, logs, dashboards, and data tables. It can also work for concise labels, settings panels, and technical documentation where a clean oblique emphasis is desired without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a subtle friendliness from the rounded geometry. Its oblique stance adds a sense of motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic, keeping the mood focused and professional.
The design appears intended to provide an interface-friendly oblique with a measured, geometric voice: consistent widths for alignment, simple constructions for rapid recognition, and rounded forms to soften the otherwise technical texture.
The sample text shows steady spacing and a predictable texture line-to-line, emphasizing uniformity over typographic color changes. Numerals appear clear and simple, matching the letterforms’ rounded, engineered feel.
