A slanted, monoline sans with a distinctly mechanical rhythm and consistent character width. Letterforms are built from simple geometric strokes and broad curves, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and straightforward terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. The capitals feel compact and engineered, while the lowercase keeps a simple, uncluttered construction with minimal modulation and clear internal counters. Numerals follow the same disciplined geometry, with a straightforward, system-like presence that matches the alphabet.
Well-suited to code presentation, console/terminal styling, and interface labeling where column alignment matters. It also works for tables, logs, technical documentation, and compact captions that benefit from a steady, grid-like texture and clear character differentiation.
The overall tone is utilitarian and technical, evoking terminals, instrumentation, and coded interfaces rather than expressive handwriting. Its steady cadence and restrained shapes give it a practical, no-frills voice with a subtle retro-computing edge.
The design intent appears to prioritize functional readability within a fixed-width system while adding a slight forward slant for emphasis and pace. Its simplified, geometric construction suggests it was drawn to feel consistent and dependable across letters and figures in technical and interface contexts.
The consistent advance width creates a strong grid alignment in text, and the slant adds motion without becoming calligraphic. Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting a stable texture across mixed-case lines and numerals.
