A slanted, monospaced sans with simplified, geometric construction and rounded curves. Strokes read as consistently even, with soft joins and smooth bowls that keep counters open for clarity at small sizes. The uppercase set is straightforward and spacious, while the lowercase uses compact, economical forms (including a single-storey “a”) that maintain a steady, columnar rhythm typical of fixed-width designs. Figures are plain and highly regular, aligning neatly to the same advance width for tabular consistency.
Well suited to code, command-line interfaces, and developer tooling where fixed-width alignment is essential. It also works effectively in UI labels, tables, forms, and technical documentation that benefit from predictable spacing and fast character recognition.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and technical, evoking a modernized typewriter or terminal aesthetic. Its calm, even texture and restrained character give it a practical, no-nonsense voice that still reads approachable due to the rounded shaping.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, monospaced sans for reading and alignment-focused settings, combining a disciplined grid rhythm with softer, rounded shapes to keep extended text comfortable and legible.
Letterforms show clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably I/l/1 and O/0), supporting quick scanning in dense lines. The italic angle is consistent across the set and helps add motion without sacrificing the disciplined alignment expected of monospaced text.
