A heavy, right-slanted sans with monospaced rhythm and broad proportions. Strokes are uniformly thick with low modulation, producing dense, compact counters and strong black shapes. Curves are built from rounded, geometric bowls, while terminals and joins are mostly blunt and clean, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The slant is consistent across upper- and lowercase, and spacing is even and regular, emphasizing a mechanical, grid-like texture in text.
This font suits interface contexts that benefit from fixed-width alignment such as code-like layouts, terminals, and data displays, especially when strong emphasis is needed. It also works well for bold labels, packaging callouts, and compact headlines where a mechanical, utilitarian voice supports the message.
The overall tone feels technical and workmanlike, with an industrial bluntness that reads as confident and no-nonsense. Its heavy color and steady cadence suggest utility and signage-like directness rather than refinement or delicacy.
The design appears intended to combine the structured predictability of monospaced spacing with a bold, slanted sans voice for emphasis and momentum. Its geometric construction and blunt finishing prioritize consistency, impact, and functional clarity in grid-based or technical settings.
Numbers are large and prominent with simplified, robust forms that hold up well at a glance. The design’s tight internal spaces and heavy strokes create strong emphasis and can look especially compact in longer passages, making it most effective when clarity and impact matter more than airy readability.
