A slanted monoline sans with a disciplined, fixed rhythm and compact proportions. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with rounded bowls and clean, open counters that keep forms clear at small sizes. Terminals are mostly straight or softly cut, and the overall geometry leans toward simple curves and direct diagonals rather than calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same pragmatic construction, with straightforward shapes and consistent spacing that reinforces the typewriter-like cadence.
Well-suited to coding environments, terminals, and any context where alignment and columnar layout matter, such as tables, forms, and specs. It also works for interface labels and compact editorial sidebars where a steady, mechanical rhythm and clear letterforms are preferred.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-computing or industrial flavor. Its steady spacing and restrained detailing give it an efficient, workmanlike feel, while the slant adds a slight sense of motion without becoming expressive or decorative.
Designed to provide a clear, space-efficient sans that maintains strict alignment while offering an italicized voice for emphasis. The goal appears to be dependable legibility and consistent texture in structured layouts, with a hint of vintage terminal character.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a uniform forward-leaning texture in paragraphs. Round letters (like o/c/e) stay smooth and stable, while angular forms (like k/v/w/x) read crisp and mechanical. Overall color is even, producing a predictable, grid-friendly pattern in running text.
