A slanted, monoline sans with wide proportions and even, low-contrast strokes. Forms are built from smooth, rounded curves with open apertures and straightforward terminals, giving the alphabet a clear, geometric rhythm. Character widths appear consistent across the set, producing a steady, grid-like texture, while the italic angle adds forward motion without introducing calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same simplified, rounded construction, including a slashed zero that distinguishes it clearly from O.
Well suited to coding environments, terminal-style interfaces, and technical documentation where consistent alignment and predictable spacing are valuable. It also works well for tables, forms, and data-heavy layouts, and can serve as a clean, contemporary choice for compact UI labels and system-like typographic accents.
The overall tone is pragmatic and modern, with a measured, engineered feel. Its steady spacing and uniform stroke behavior read as disciplined and systematic, while the italic slant adds a light sense of speed and momentum rather than expressiveness.
The design appears intended to balance utilitarian readability with a contemporary, rounded sans voice, using consistent widths and simplified shapes to keep text orderly and easy to scan. The slant suggests an emphasis on momentum and emphasis while preserving a controlled, technical texture.
Distinctive features visible in the samples include a single-storey “a” and “g”, a straightforward, minimal “r”, and a legible slashed “0”. The consistent character widths create an even typographic color in blocks of text, and the open counters help maintain clarity at smaller sizes.
