A compact, oblique sans with a monospaced rhythm and evenly distributed stroke weight. Curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a soft, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly clean and unadorned, with simple joins and minimal modulation, producing a steady texture in text. Proportions stay consistent across letters and figures, and the italics-like slant is applied uniformly without introducing calligraphic contrast.
Well-suited to code and terminal-like contexts where fixed-width alignment matters, as well as UI labels, settings screens, and compact navigation. It also performs well in tables, forms, and data presentations where consistent character widths and a steady typographic color aid scanning.
The overall tone is utilitarian and contemporary, with a subtle friendliness from the rounded forms. Its disciplined spacing and steady cadence read as technical and workmanlike, while the slant adds a sense of motion without becoming expressive or decorative.
Designed to provide a clear, consistent monospaced voice with a contemporary rounded construction, balancing strict alignment needs with a softer, more approachable geometry. The uniform slant suggests an intent to add momentum and differentiation while maintaining a restrained, practical appearance.
The sample text shows an even color and predictable word shape, with counters staying open and shapes remaining clear despite the compact set width. Figures share the same structured, rounded construction as the letters, supporting a cohesive typographic system.
