A monospaced, oblique sans with a streamlined geometric skeleton and consistently rounded joins. Curves lean toward superelliptical shapes—especially in C, O, Q, and the bowls—while terminals are clean and blunt rather than flared. Strokes stay even throughout, with a slightly squared, engineered feel in the rounding and a steady rhythm created by the fixed character widths and generous inner counters. The numerals are simple and open, with a distinctive, straight-backed “2” and a compact “1” with an angled cap, maintaining the same measured, mechanical spacing as the letters.
Well suited to code samples, terminal-style interfaces, configuration screens, and any layout that benefits from predictable alignment such as tables, forms, and logs. It can also work for compact technical documentation, UI microcopy, and captions where a clean, steady rhythm and consistent spacing improve scanning.
The overall tone feels contemporary and pragmatic, like a tool-oriented face designed for structured information. Its rounded geometry softens the strictly technical impression, giving it a friendly, approachable clarity while staying disciplined and efficient.
The design appears intended to provide a clear, modern monospaced reading experience with a softened geometric character. By combining even strokes, consistent oblique angle, and superellipse-like rounding, it aims for both functional alignment and a contemporary, friendly finish.
The oblique slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the character shapes prioritize clear silhouettes over expressive calligraphic detail. Round letters read as rounded-rectangle forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) stay taut and tidy, reinforcing a precise, engineered texture in lines of text.
