A heavy, monospaced sans with a consistent rightward slant and broadly rounded construction. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with smooth joins and generous curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q, balanced by crisp terminals and squared-off inner counters where needed. Proportions feel roomy for a fixed-width design, with broad capitals, stable verticals, and a straightforward, engineered rhythm that stays even across letters and numerals.
Well suited to interfaces and environments that benefit from fixed character widths, such as coding/terminal presentations, tabular readouts, or UI components that require stable alignment. The heavy weight also supports short headlines, labels, and signage-style applications where quick scanning and strong contrast against the background are important.
The overall tone is pragmatic and modern, reading as a workhorse face with a slightly dynamic, forward-leaning feel. Its weight and steady spacing give it a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to information-forward design.
Designed to provide a robust, readable monospaced voice with a modern slanted stance, prioritizing alignment, consistency, and fast character recognition across mixed-case text and numerals.
The glyph set shown emphasizes clarity at display-to-text sizes: distinctive shapes for similar forms (such as 0 and 1) and open apertures in several lowercase letters help maintain quick recognition. The slant is consistent across both cases and figures, giving continuous text a cohesive, streamlined texture.
