A slanted, monoline sans with open, rounded forms and a steady, even rhythm. The letterforms rely on simple geometric construction—circular bowls and smooth joins—paired with straight-sided stems and crisp terminals. Proportions feel broad and airy, with consistent character width and generous internal spacing that keeps counters clear. Details like the single-storey lowercase a and g, a straightforward tail on q, and a diagonal slash in the zero reinforce a practical, unornamented drawing style.
Well suited to environments where alignment and consistent character widths matter, such as code editors, terminal output, and tabular readouts. It also fits compact UI labeling, diagnostics screens, and technical documentation where a disciplined rhythm and clear counters help maintain readability.
The overall tone is pragmatic and instrument-like, with a subtle retro-computing flavor. Its steady spacing and restrained shapes communicate clarity and utility rather than personality-driven flair, while the slant adds a mild sense of motion and informality.
Likely designed to provide a neutral, highly consistent text face for systematic layouts, emphasizing predictable spacing, distinct character silhouettes, and uncomplicated geometry. The slanted stance suggests an option for adding emphasis or speed while preserving a functional, grid-friendly texture.
Numerals read distinctly at a glance, helped by the slashed zero and simple, open shapes. In text, the uniform spacing produces a typewriter-like cadence and predictable word texture, with minimal stroke modulation and clean curves supporting consistent legibility.
