A heavy, oblique sans with monospaced spacing and broad, rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with very low contrast and softened terminals that keep corners from feeling sharp. Counters are relatively compact (notably in O, Q, and e), giving the face a dense, high-ink look. The overall construction favors simple, robust shapes—single‑storey a and g, a straightforward r, and a slightly squared, engineered feel to curves—while the consistent slant creates a steady forward rhythm across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where a monospaced rhythm is desirable: code samples, terminal-style UI, dashboards, tables, labels, and compact headings. It also works well for badges, posters, and sporty or industrial branding moments that benefit from an oblique, heavy sans presence.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with an industrial, technical flavor. Its forward lean and dense weight read as energetic and pragmatic rather than elegant, suggesting utility, motion, and straightforward communication.
Likely designed to deliver a monospaced, italicized sans that stays bold and readable under tight layout constraints, pairing a technical grid-like rhythm with softened curves for a more approachable, modern texture.
The monospaced set width produces a regular cadence in text, while the bold presence and tight internal spaces can make long passages feel dark at small sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, with forms that echo the same rounded, low-contrast construction as the letters.
