A slanted, monospaced sans with consistently even stroke weight and a compact, engineered rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, with minimal modulation and a disciplined, typewriter-like spacing that keeps every character aligned. Uppercase forms are narrow and tall, while lowercase stays tidy and restrained, producing clear word shapes without decorative detail.
Well suited to coding environments, terminals, and UI labels where fixed character widths help alignment. It also works for tables, forms, and technical documentation that benefits from a compact, consistent rhythm. At larger sizes it can deliver a distinctive retro-computing flavor for headlines or posters while remaining clean and readable.
The overall tone feels technical and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-machine character reminiscent of terminals, labeling systems, and industrial documentation. Its rounded-square curves add a friendly softness without losing the precise, mechanical attitude. The italic slant contributes a sense of motion and pragmatism rather than elegance.
The design appears aimed at a pragmatic, monospaced workhorse that stays legible and orderly while adding personality through rounded-rectangle geometry and an oblique stance. The emphasis is on consistency, alignment, and clear differentiation of glyphs for information-dense settings.
Key shapes emphasize clarity: the zeros appear slashed, the “Q” uses a simple tail treatment, and punctuation/dots are square and minimal. Many letters show open, straightforward constructions with generous interior space relative to the stroke, helping maintain clarity at small sizes while keeping a compact footprint.
